Clipping

[Cboeger]

if bass boosted songs gives clipping/distortion to your subs, then does that mean any song bass boosted or not could ruin your subs even if your gain and stuff is set correctly?

the song clips, you're likely going to clip the amps even if gains are set correctly.

a little red in audacity is fine. the whole song is red and you have an issue.

As long as the song isn't horribly clipped, and not bass boosted to all hell, you should be ok.

I'd examine the song in audacity, if a few red appears, you'll be fine, now if it's all red, stay the hell away like Kranny said.

but can't you use audacity to clean it up also? and get it back in the butter zone?

[Noel989]

nope you cant

it can be reduce

but the way I see is just like playing your stereo a few clicks down than normal

you cant unclip a song...well, you can, but you have to go and reshape every sine wave which will take like weeks.

if you deamplify a clipped song, you're just making the clipping, and overall song, quieter. its still clipping.

Once a song is dirty, it stays dirty. Unless you go back and completely reconfigure the song.

Another thing to look for if you have a volt meter and you know your average volt drop. On a clipped song your voltage will drop a bit more than usual. That will give you a sign that a song may be clipped
