do u have a good ground is it tight?, no paint under it.. sometime either bad ground or thin wire can make amps over heat too..

Grounds are good got 0 gauge on straight metal. My dad has a sundown saz-2000 does fine but it has an internal fan. ill have to upgrade, would amp would best handle Arizona heat you think?

Huh?
So your amp goes into protect when the AC is on? how come you didn't mention this in the 1st post?

no I mean the amp works fine when the ac is on because the cool air, just when I get in the amp is in protect because of it overheating from the heat. did I word that right?

So...lemme get this straight: the amp goes into protect when you get into the car? But it does not go into protect when the ac is running.

sorry, when I first get in the ac is off and the amp is in protect because its hot, when I turn the ac on and is on for a while the amp cools down and kicks on. does that make sense?

A little bit. So how is the amp mounted? Is it in an open area where air can get to it or surrounded by something?

It is hot out... I'm in East Chandler and the temp is 115 right now... but an amplifier should work irregardless... are you trying to run a low impedance?.. that can and will create thermal problems even failure!.. as someone stated Belva is not well regarded.

Upside down should be fine. Airflow is all that matters. My buddy did this install. I think 14 amps. Look at that sloppy wiring. 😂 Vegas don't play.
