You might have a grounding problem behind your head unit. If you don't have a good enough ground, when the amp tries to pump out the power, it's shitting off. Just a guess. Now that we know it's an after market head unit.

I'd double check all the connections behind the HU. make sure you don't have speaker wires coming loose and make sure your ground is good.

Where in AZ are you?

If you are using a factory head unit, the problem could be the speakers. Check the impedence of the speakers you took out. Sometimes factory uses 6 ohm, 8 ohm and even 10 ohm speakers. I don't think I've seen more than 10 ohm. Anyway, that could be part of the problem.
