DBz Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 When your voltage drops too low your amp starts clipping the signal. So yes electrical plays a big part Quote (2) Kicker L5 12's Alpine IDA-X305 HU Dual Optimas Big three Kenwood EQ RF Components Hifonics Brutus 1K (Subs) Alpine MRP 250 (Mids/Highs) Lots o' sound deadening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EclipseChris Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 yep, it can come from voltage drop. What Ed Lester told me was the an amp CAN indeed clip as a result of voltage drop, but it has to be extreme Like 7v, dropping to 12 or even 11 will not cause an amp to clip.

That's still voltage drop, right?

EclipseChris Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I just wanted to clear it up. Saying "voltage drop" makes people think the worst (or least in this case) and everyone is going to think 13v or 12v will cause clipping. This is not the case.

I agree with you 100%...it should be mentioned.
