btw the clipping indicator on the bass boost thing is a POS. it indicates clipping when my car was on 12 volume, both gain and bass boost on half...

lol. its not a piece of shit. it works, but its not 100% accurate.

it indicated you were clipping on volume 12 because your settings are fucked up. its not the amps fault. its the users fault.

I hairtrick decently on the 100.1, can't wait to see how much air it moves on the crescendo but i don't have a dd-1 or know anyone with one.I always used the dmm but ik with box rise I might be at 2-3ohms and getting 1-2k outta the amp so I don't wana tune to 62.2v and clip the shit outta it

well don't use bass boost and try to get the gain to as close to your radio's pre-amp voltage as possible. Gains are meant to match your RCA voltage.

I'm not exactly sure on how you can do it other than knowing that the lowest gain is 0.2 V and the highest is either 6V or 9V, I'm not sure, you should look that up and then judge from there.

dont crescendo amps come with the bass knobs that have the clipping light on it? i'd rather trust that than a dmm. even though the clip light isnt 100% accurate, its better (in my eyes).

okay maybe i exaggerated, it came on with the volume up at like 25 and the gain 5/8 up and bass boost cranked. but i mean... ;P
