JakeSmith Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 i have a hdc3 12 i was wondering if it can take some clipping but not all the time?
bkolfo4 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Depends on what size amp. It could handle a square wave if it is only 25 watts. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
S15_Silvia Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Are you looking to push the amp into some clipping for SPL competition? 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

TRTC360 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 you gotta be really careless to blow that sub on that amp, even on a hard clip.

JakeSmith Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 no just so sub will hit a little harder when i want it too but i dont know how long or how many songs i can play before i blow my sub. i dont want to blow it
JakeSmith Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 how is that careless? just cause its not a big amp?
Jskiles Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 I clipped the hell out of my hdc315 when it was time for a recone and never blew it. I even played way below tuning while clipping and it still wouldn't blow. The coil still looked great too. 2010 Kia Forte Koup (Slow Build) 2 Sundown SCV-3000D 2 DC XL M1 with PSI reconesFocal R-165s2 on Orion 4800-HPKenwood KDC-X798Knukonceptz OFC 1/0Audiotechnix,Fatmat and Q-mat Deadener XS power D3400 up front 3 D3100s power in trunkStock 110 amp alt 2013 Scion TC 2 Dc lvl 3s with xl coils on Soundqubed 2200 Sundown components AA 50.2 for components Pioneer FH-X700BT Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 Fatmat and Q-mat Deadener XS Power D3100 up front D925 in back Mechman 240 alt http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/189911-2013-scion-tc-build/ <Scion TC Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174094-jskiles-forte-koup/ <Slow Kia Forte Buildhttp://www.stevemead...ockUserAgent__1 < Old build 2005 Equinox
JakeSmith Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 so i can have it clipping just dont have it clip for hours? or dont have it clip to much?
Noel989 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 This is the third thread I've seen today asking the same question Don't pay attention to the clip indicator And Get a dd-1 so you can set your gains correctly so you can get maximum output from the amp without clipping Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/
