Thank You set your gains with an o-scope. you can clip with 1 watt if you set your gains incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyFriery97 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Make sure nothings cranked up on the headunit either If everything flat on my head unit I can have my gain on my AQ2200D at 3/4 and no clipping but I turn up anything on my headunit and the clip light will start to flash 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team_DC-Derrick Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 please dont clip.. if you need more power, get another amp, clipping even slight, will eventually cause problems.

StreetZ Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I never said i was just riding around clippin them...i said when i turn my gains down until the clip light turned off it sounded like i wasnt powering anything...like nothing was there. ::::::STREETZ:::::: NEW BUILD COMING S☺☺N!!!

Torres Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 then a rebuild may be needed. an install is ~80% of your output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
