What can i do to prevent my amp from overheating

You ran all four subs is parallel to the third channel?!?!?!? That's your problem. You're going to fry your amp with that. Unless that happens to be a one ohm stable channel, which I highly doubt it is.

i had this amp for over a year now, but I've been never worried about it. Never blown fuses, never stopped working, I doubt that wiring 4 8 ohms subs @ paralell mode will turn it into 1 ohm.

I don't know... I'm a musician and I've been working with ohms, combinations for over a few years now.

If the amp says it's 2 ohm stable and I run it 2 ohms, why would it turn 1 ohm??

If it's a 3-channel amp. 90% of the time, the third channel (which is meant for subs) will be internally bridged. But if you've been running it for a year, I'd say get a high output crossflow fan and that should take care of your problems... hopefully.

Yeah, that what I though, but for third time I ask, Can I really make a difference in the amp blowing hot or warm air into the circuit board?

All you need is air circulating across the heat sinks. You could use a setup like this.
(fan)----------------------------->
(amp)
<---------------------------(fan)

But fi your amp is getting a load it can't handle it will only help for a little.
