Help me figure this out.

When I am driving one of my amps cut off for a moment, then continue playing without problem. This happens once in a while and I think maybe happens when there is a bump, but I can't tell because it doesnt do it all the time.

suggestions on where I should look first

how can I test this to find out where and what the problem is.

When you say, it happens when there is a bump it sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere. I would start with checking all of your ground and power connections.

It sounds like a loose connection. Check all of the wires on your equipment.

I've had this, and it was from running the amp at too low of an impedance.

I ran an IB sub, 4 ohms, to the back two channels of a 4 channel amp, bridged. However, running it IB meant I had no impedance rise from the box, and it was actually sitting around 3.2 to 3.4 ohms, causing the amp to have troubles.

The only other thing would be loose connections - inside the amp or outside.
