What mosy likely has happened or broke?

[Fine Vol 10+ year member]

I have a 1000 wat amp on a RF P3 that can handle 1000 at 2 ohms. It has worked and sounded well for two weeks. As of late it does not hit as hard and the bass is a slight bit more distorted. The peaker hits half as hard, it is like the amp decided to use half the power. I have checked FUSES all ok, light on amp comes on and when I push on the speaker it feels tight the same when we installed it. What is most likely my problem?

I wonder if a wire connected to sub fell off? It still pulls power cause my lights still dim at night.

maybe your gain was accidentally changed. check all wires and connections. and check setting on h/u

So your lights dim even when the gain is set artificially low? Do I even need to explain how that should be setting off alarms in your head?
