It may not be able to handle the ohm load the way u have it hooked up. Do u have the subs bridged? If so try unbridging them and see if it still overheats.

If theres room...However usually when a amp overheats its a sign of it being over worked. Either your wiring is insufficent causing a voltage drop, and forcing the unit to compinsate for it increasing the reistance inside the unit. Anyways if dont want to change any of that I suggest Moving it to where there is more ventilation is it isnt alread...and just installing a exteral PC fan around it. You can make it look nice by using the Led pc fans you can get now.

How to measure watts

You need a Volt Meter and an Ohm Meter. P = VI & I = V/r, so Power = (Volt^2)/Ohms .

You can get the ohms by hooking them up to the subwoofer input wires, and you get the volts by hooking up to the amp output terminals/wires. Although, amps will put out different voltages for different frequences, this should give you ballpark estimates.

Sony Xplod XM-1652Z Car Audio Amplifier cuts out when turned up loud

The best thing to do is to get a amp that is more watts than your subs, not the other way around, speakers are known to handel a lil more power but amps cant produce more power than they are capable of... your ground wire should be thick also, say 6 to 8 mm or so, and its best to put in a cap and an equalizer.
