The most common causes for amps going into protection are: 1) speaker impedence is too low. 2) amp input gain is too high. 3) current draw of amps is too much for the vehicle's electrical system, drawing voltage too low. 4) improper installation, specifically poor quality ground connection. 5) equipment failure (speakers, amps, HU, RCA cable, etc.) You need to investigate each of these. And no, a cap will not "fix" this problem.
