MIKE-2U Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Clipping lights aren't accurate, as Decaf said himself they are set to light up "clip" off of rail voltage ( whatever that is ). What i have found out for myself on my AQ 2200D when my voltage drops below 13.5 the light goes off. If the voltage stays up i can go higher on gain. I tuned with the DD-1 so they are set. Those lights aren't accurate don''t rely on them. Find Decafs post where he says thais ^.

It kinda sucks, I adjust my gain at the start of every song, I can feel (and hear of coarse) when the amp gets into the power phase of the DB level. But I can turn the gain knob up more and still get huge output increases, even though its distorted But having the subs in the trunk makes the distortion hard to hear.

MIKE-2U Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I set my gain on the amp with the remote @ 1/2 way so on lower volumes i could turn the gain up a bit. But as soon as i see the light flash i can smeel coils LOL. but my subs take the abuse ( I think). I also cross checked my DD-1 to my gain light and it was close! the light actually came on before. So i also tend to go by the remote when i am in doubt if the song is clipped.

Nice That's what I wish I could do... well if I had a light hahaha I can't ever smell my coils, just wrecks my woofer suspension Edited May 17, 2012 by timma100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
