More info is needed but I would say if you aren't running it at a load it isn't rated at and the fuses aren't blowing you should be fine. Good airflow really helps, heat kills electronics.

need info. how many watts is the amp, whats the rms for the subs, how many channel is the amp, how hard are you running it? if youre pushing too much youre stretching the coil in the sub which will cause it to eventually blow

The amp is rated 650 watts, the 2 12" are 1200 watts max and the 2 10" are a small 300 watts.

How do you have your subs wired. What ohm load is the amp seeing? Running an amp that is rated at 2ohms at a 1ohm load is what I was talking about.
