Sorry to hear of your issues...
Has the amp been getting good ventilation, if so perhaps it has a fault and the best thing you can do is return it for a replacement. * The amp has some form of GAIN setting what had you it set at?
The tactile units you have look similar to the Reckhorn models and yes your amp is seemingly not meeting the required 4ohm wattage specs listed. The listed specs are quite a bit beyond your 100w per channel requirements so it is rather odd. Do understand though that tactile, especially with a source like Simvibe is continuously operating and hard on amplifiers.
I know that several users over on ISR forums promote these amps and yes they come with differing wattages. Yours being one of the more higher rated models. Personally though I am dubious to what the actual quality of amps like these really is, when they list rather high distortion levels and are very cheap compared to major brands.
Points to always take note of which I mentioned in the guide, listed specs for amps are so often part marketing or misleading. We may not know if it is a peak performance of the units or if the listed specs were conditional to set test parameters. Just because a wattage can be obtained does not mean it operates continuously upto such a rating and work to the listed spec continuously in all "real world scenarios".
TEST
Try one tactile unit at max volume to see if it runs for a long period no problems or if the amp still cuts out. Then repeat the same test but on the other channel. Come back and let us know
