I should have said, my friend, installer, audio shop owner did the actual install. He moved here from Vegas to open his own shop. He had been doing custom installs for the Limo company's for 15 years.
I don't see the ga. listed on the wires I can see but it is hefty. Guessing I'd say an 8 or 10 ga. I'll ask him.
I was going to suggest a small fan or two as mentioned above.

I've used Zapco amps in the past and never had one shut off due to thermal protect though.
but this 4 channel amp literally has 0ga power/ground inputs. Was a lil upset the mono amp didnt, thus had to use a 0ga - 4ga reducer input terminal

The correct minimum size wire for ground and power for the mono amp is 4ga (I am using 0ga with a reducer input connector) and 0ga for the 4 channel amp in my pics. If the wire is undersized you wont reach advertised power as the amp is being starved of the full amount of power it needs. I surely hope your power and ground are larger than 8 or 10ga....

So which amp goes into thermal protect? Something doesnt add up. What you are describing wire size wise sounds like 4ga...BUT hopefully it's not 1 4ga wire from the battery to a distribution block and then 4ga to each amp. If it is....that would explain why the amps are going into thermal protect.... they would not be supplied with correct amperage. Can you share a pic of the amps and the wiring?

Ok, I gotta ask. I have been following this and the gram faithfully and with all the mods under the hood I am curious. Have you had this beast dyno'd? I would be really curious.
I would also love to see how she handles at a track day. I bet this thing sticks like glue.
