is your amp shutting off, or is the head unit turning off? As mentioned, use a volt meter and see what the voltage at whatever is cutting off is. If the voltage drops below 12, that will cause either to shut down.
Let us know what you find, and I can make recommendations to correct it. Don't buy any new equipment yet, unless you just want the excuse to do so

Problem solved with the stereo! The fuse housing near the battery was corroded. Loose connection.

If the stereo is cranked for a long time, the internal amp in the head unit is probably getting way hot. It could going into a self protect mode. The other problem could be that the battery voltage is dropping slightly after playing tunes for a while and with higher volumes, the interanl amp needs at least 12 volts or it will start cutting out.
