So I got my new amp and 2x JL 12W6v2's professionally installed today and the amp overheats after 25-30 minutes of play. They changed out the 4 gauge wiring to 1/0, turned the bass boost to 0, and its set the rms to around 900 watts. The amp is mounted behind the rear seats inside the trunk. I have tried folding the seat down and running the AC at full blast and the amp still goes into protect mode. It's honestly not even that hot, I can keep my hand on it for over 10 seconds. Any ideas on what's wrong? One of my friends said I might need a capacitor.
