What's all the equipment you have? What ohm load is the amp seeing?

what speakers do you have and are they wired in parallel or series? is the amp running in bridged mode or stereo? most likely your subs are wired wrong and the amp can't handle the low impedance and the amps cuts off.

Are you running a line output converter or anything like that? It sounds like you've got your gain on the amp or the converter too high and you're driving the amp into clipping.

get a digital multimeter and set the gain on the amp
