I believe your amp is turned up too high.

Posibilities:

1. cutting out on thermal
2. cutting out on DC on the speakers (Volume too high)
3. Wire gage supplying amp is too small. If the amp is 2000 watts RMS, your pulling 2000/12 amps or about 166 AMPS. You probably should be using #00 AWG wire which is about 9 and 1/4 mm in diameter.
