Speakers or Receiver Clipping?

Well the HK Citation receiver and the SDA 1's were playing well last night for about and hour at a decent volume.
Found one bass driver was frozen and removed it from the cabinet.
Today when I got home from work I turned everything back on at about half the volume of yesterday and in about 5 minutes the music stops. If I get close to the drivers I can hear the music muted. I turned up the volume and the drivers extend outward and then get sucked inward as far as they can go. I turned everything off quickly and waited about 30 minutes and turned the system back on and all was well, for about 5 minutes and the scenario repeated itself.
I looked at the schematics for the SDA 1's and there does not seem to be an overload switch in the crossover but instead fuses on the outside rear of the cabinet. A check with a meter showed all four were good.
Could it be the receiver shutting down? It is rated four four ohm speakers at 130 watts.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any helpful insights.
