Have you checked your the ground for the amp? I've seen this happen if your ground is not in a good spot or is not making good contact with the body of the car. (ground area should be sanded to bare metal)

well my 1000 watt memphis amp will push for a little while and then it cuts out and a lite says DC offset.... i ground the metal as good as it'll get.. do i need a cap or what?

What amp is it? I have a Memphis 16 PR1KD 1000w amp.. with a cap and crossover.. still cuts out if I turn it to loud.. with the gains almost all the way down.. my friend has the same amp.. his does the same thing.. dunno if its a defect in that certain amp or what.. I have a good ground too.. its not that

is it hot, are the speakers blow. the amp may have a bad circuit board.

I had that problem before. It is probably because you are dipping below 1ohm.

I have a memphis 2000D amplifier, and it used to shut off at loud volumes too. Until I got a H/O alternator and then it never did it again, it might be that you amplifier isnt getting enough amps to effectivly run

I had the memphis st1000d amp also that is a 1 ohm stable amp. what kinda speakers and are they dual voice coils. how many are you running. you may need to check the voice coils also. if one or two are blown then that can cause that.Now i have a memphis mojo 2400 and now i need more batteries and biger alt Dayummm
