Mha Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 do these show realy clipping? I hav a dc 5k I have running at 2ohms. On an xl12 and set to 3/4s gains no boost on amp and just a normal hip hop setting on my ipod and stock head unit (bose)bass tured down also.And I cant seam to get it that loud with out the clipping light goin on. I bought the amp used so it might be the amp. am I to protective? In my yukon im running my kicker l7 on a hifonics hfi 2000 2 ohms wich is close to 1000 watts with the gains 3/4 up,knob all they way up base boost on ipod and 3+ bass out of 6 on the head unit. Am I clipping it probably but I just turn it down when it smells and I gave had it running like this for a year now and it still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed9 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 If it smells your are clipping. Get a dd-1 a oscope or if you can't get one of those atleast set your gains with a multimeter its got to be a lot better than how you got it set now.

OrionStang Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 The clip light on DC amps is bullshit. Cover it with a piece of tape or something, then set your gains right with a dd-1 or scope. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would turn turn off any bass on the Ipod and turn the bass down on the head unit in the Yukon Does the amp in the Yukon have bassboost if so turn it all the way down..
