Amp clipping? IDK what it is..im new to this

[sx4dude2013 10+ year member]

So i have a 12" P2 RF sub and a Kenwood Mono block wired @ 8 omhs @ 250 RMS. I was on a 6 hr trip yesterday and had no problems. Today i was hitting kinda hard and the whole system got silent for like 10 secs then started up again? My speakers arnt on an amp yet but they quit as well? If my amp was "clipping" wouldnt only my sub quit?? And it wasnt the cd cause it did it 3 times on another cd as well.... How do i prevent whatever this is from happening again?

Sounds to me like a voltage issue. Test ur voltage with a dmm and let us no what it says.

If my amp cut off or went into protect mode...would that also make my speakers stop playing too?? Yes it was rap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if amp gets to hot it would cut off until it cools down...where do u have amp located?

amp is located under the passenger seat but it has a few inches for venting and has two cooling fans??
