Default What might be wrong, my amp seems to be "clipping"
As of tonight for no good reason, my amp cuts off under each bass load. It's a sherwood four channel amp. Thanks for the help!

Default Sherwood is cheap (and I don't just mean inexpensive) stuff. Try a PPI, Xtant, etc amp.
I think your amp's lifeline just hit it's last stop.
