Tony,I keep my bass amp setting at high noon but of course the bass volume setting is room and system dependent...clipping means distorting from overload....if the amp is shutting down during real complex passages and loudly played that sounds like clipping and the protection circuit kicks in to protect the gear.Check out my system photo...speakers 10 feet apart, and 4 feet from front wall (distance to rear of speaker).

So did you get to fix the bass amp problem? It does sound like it's clipping. The only way to stop it from clipping, in my opinion, is for you to lower the volume. Gosh, at what db do you listen at? Do you rock the house?
