Default Overheating Amp

I have an Audiobahn 1600 Watt Amp and two 12" Audiobahn Sub woofers. The amp is wired with 4gauge power (with a 60 amp fuse) and ground wire, wired through a capacitor. Now the problem with all this is that when i run it, which normally is about half power on the cd deck and 2/3-3/4 power on the amp itself, it will only work for about half an hour to 40 minutes and then cut out b/c it over heats. I've check all my connections and they're solid, no rusting or loose connections so I know thats not why it overheats. This is a picture of my setup at the moment

I was wondering if anybody can think of any reasons why it would over heat after such a short period of use, or even over heat at all. Thanks for your help!
