Well, if they're moving slowly, the amp is probably fried, and it's outputting DC. The clicks are the output protection relays kicking on and off, or the DC changing polarity rapidly. It could also be some component upstream if the amp is DC coupled. It could also be bad drivers, or wonky power, or any number of other things. We really need a better description to help out more. Lights? Measured voltages? Help us out...
