If your not talking about the cutting out while using the CD player - Then does it lose total power (radio light go off)? - if no to these then you more then likely have short or a poor connection some where

i'll give it a try it seems to be right it sound killer for about 2 min. then they cut off and take a min or so to come back it also sort of sounds like the disk is skipping but it isn't ,the timer keeps the song time WTF

Is this a recorded cd? I have had trouble sometimes with cds I recorded at home. They just up and quit, not sure if it is buffering up or what. Try a store bought cd and see if that is better. How does the radio work?
If the radio is notquitting you could belosing power(or ground) to the amp. If the amp quits that will kill the sound but the head will still play. You may hook up a remote bulb to the power connection at the amp and watch the bulb as you ride to see if it stays lit.

The amp would be hot to the touch if it went into protection mode. I wouldn't worry about your 4 speakers vs 2 if it doesn't get hot in the garage. Run the radio instead for a while to remove the CD variable. Just go over your work. What are you using for remote 12v? Maybe that's cutting out?
