Woofer drop out

I have two 10 inch Type-R woofers and a 1200 watt amp. Sometimes the woofers just seem to shut off. any comments would help.

When do they shut off? After beating on them pretty hard or just randomly regardless of duration and volume level?

Wiring for sure. Could even be the speaker wiring, depending how they're wired.

Too low of impedance and the amp is going thermal ?

Either the amp is going into protect or the sub is rattling a wire loose.

Check the amp next time it happens.

Looks like you are clipping your amp. Turn the gain down a bit. Maybe the excessive clipping makes it go into protect.
