How long do car stereo amplifiers such as ones used to power subwoofers usually last and what makes them go bad anyway?

I can't tell you "How long...usually last..." because the life of an amplifier depends on many factors, all related to the care or ABUSIVE TREATMENT it receives. I can tell you that longer periods of continuous use, and at higher power output [volume] levels, contribute to shorter life. Also, the MAIN cause of failure is OVERHEATING of several internal electronic components, but particularly the solid state devices, such as integrated circuit chips, transistors, etc. The higher the power pushed through the amp, the more heat. It is just like a car: if you drive the hell out of it, that WILL lead to premature failure of the tires, engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, shocks, etc.
