It's very possible to have a heat-related issue in amps, head units or speakers. Do you have a heat gun (or a hair dryer)? Try a little judicious application of heat and see if you can induce the problem. Also, make sure the speaker level outputs from the HU are completely insulated as the HU will go into protection and turn off all outputs if they are shorting out.
