It was brought to me attention that it could be a cap that I need. Cause say I just turn on the car it plays for good 20-30 min, then it shuts off. If i restart it right away, it plays for only a few sec.

yeah it shut off on the highway before, my lights still worked fine. I am thinking perhaps once the battery is getting drained the power is not "clean" anymore, and the amp detects that

I think myself and some others have said this before already...
..get a bench test somewhere. And of course, don't let them know anything about what it's doing...just get it tested. HiFonics is a excellent brand for amps, so it's uncharacteristic for it to be acting up. If the bench test proves it's bad, contact maxxsonics again and complain a lot until you get a new one. They'll take care of you.
