Default Amp placement and problems

I know this isn't the right forum but I know I can get my answer back quickly. Right now I am having probelms with mine 10" sub (350 watts max) and currently my (300 x2 watt) amp is bolted to the floor. My boy told me to remove it from the floor and put the amp on my back seat, but I can't because I have an upper rear tie bar and the armrest has that plastic peice. I was just wondering if mounting it up on the rear deck would be safer and better cooling? We ended up grounding mine under the trunk matt into the sheet metal. My pain problem is that the amp keeps on going in protection. We made sure we wired everything up and checked it again and still in prtection. We got another amp and 30 mins later it went in protection as well. I am thinking that the wire kit isn't strong enough. It's 8 gauge but it doesn't look good quality to me. I am thinking about running 4 gauge but high quality of course and remounting the amp. What do you guys & gals think?
