Oh i believe it is the best sounding setup you've have, Audioque and Fi ain't no joke! But, as a somewhat reliable, not necessarily ideal method though, the warning light on the bass knob is there for a reason. If you feel that you need to get the knob turned up high enough to make it loud, regardless of the clip indicator yelling at you, what you REALLY need is a bigger amp.
And when you say the clip light it just red, i was going off of the crunch/hifonics/maxxasonics bass knobs i have personally used in the past. I have never personally used an audioque product, but i am sure the clipping indicator doesn't lie.
