any ideas ?

just run new power cord from battery to deck, make sure negative isnt loose nonoe of the speaker wire connections are touching the doors - metal ect.. youve got a loose connection somewhere.. just gota trial and error everything.. a wire twisted will work forever but if its next to soemthing else which it may bump here and there itl turn it off.. its gay i had to take all 6 speakers out then run new power new fuse nothing changed... checked the fucking negative.. it was touching abd bolted in with a teck screw into the boot.. just a tad loose and itll shut the amps power off.. check negatives first then power cable.. then trial by error until it stops...

gd luck

hit a flat curb doing like 120, should fix it for a while

As Dufus said, check all the speakers.. When a speaker magnet hits metal, it cuts them all out. Does the deck turn off too? If it doesnt its got nothing to do with power/ground.

yeah the deck turns off too ...

Was it fine for ages, then only started doing it?
Battery/alternator might be on the way out

If any speaker wire earths it'll cut out like that.

Could be one of many things:
*The loom behind the stereo earthing (twist & tape job?) hot weather releasing the wires.
*Pinched cable earthing, oem cables replaced & not protected/installed well?
*Speaker cable loose from terminal; earthing
*Bad earth to deck, check voltage with multimetre whilst playing at full volume.

If this was the case, the car probably wouldnt start. Doesnt sound like a power hungry system.

I will almost put my money on negative connection

Loose battery terminals will do it, my daily has the same problem
