Default Alpine Type X clipping

I hava a 12 inch Alpine Type X subwoofer hooked to a PDX-1.1000 amp and I have the gain set at a bit more that half. I have 4 gauge wire and I have the original battery in my car. Now when I turn up the volume, my sub doesn't distort or anything, instead it will make a clipping sound and shut off. When I reboot my head unit it comes back. It doesn't always happen but I would just like to know if this can damage my sub and what can I do to prevent this?
Thanks in advance!

How did you set the gain??

Just arbitrarily set it to half??

If so that is incorrect
