Default Is my amp dead ?

I have 2 amps in my car. The first one is for the 2 subs and the 2nd is a 4 channel amp for the speakers. Recently while listening to my radio the other day my speakers goes off all of a sudden, but I can still hear the bass from my subs (all i could hear are the subs). After a few minutes i hear a single poping sound then the music came back from my speakers. Then a few minutes later it stopped, then on, then off...you get the idea. Each on and off intervals last about 15-30 minutes.


What I think is wrong is that the amp for the speakers has insufficient power. But I don't think that makes sense because when I listen to my radio at moderate/low volume the same thing happens. If this is the case then I think a 1 or 2 farad capacitor will do the trick.

The 2nd thing that could be wrong with my 2nd amp (speakers)is that it's broken. But if it's broken then why does it work here and there. If it's broken then it should stop working all together.

My 3rd guess is that the wires are loose. But I rechecked all the wires and they seemed fine and holds up very well.

Here's a pic of the 2nd amp and the rear of subs box if that helps. Please give me some advice on the problems with my amp.
