Your amp is not of high quality. The heatsink on it probably sux. The amp turns off as a mechanism designed to save it from overheating or blowing. Once so much power is put out the amp is told to shut off. This is my guess. I've had amps do the same thing, mainly Bazooka. Once it shuts off you have to turn the deck off and then back on, then the amp will turn back on again when it gets the signal. If this is the problem it will only get worse as the amp gets older.
