Vibration is the enemy. I would not mount an amp on a box unless there was absolutely no other place to mount it.

Do you think the excess vibrations could be causing the extra heat and causing the amp to over heat into protect mode? I know if a connection is not tight and allowed to vibrate/move around it can cause extreme heat. So in theory i could see this having an effect on it.

Honestly, Even though this probably isn't the issue. For the amount of power you are pushing I would go with 2 gage instead of 4 gage wire.

I would like to know what kind of equipment they have to tell that a Mosfet device is GOING out.

You can tell they're going out when they get all dressed up and put on their makeup and head towards the door. amp goes into protection mode - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.
