clip light after setting amp

[bjohn118]

ok so i have a hifonics atlas 3000 watt sub amp and i set it with the dd-1 at -5 db i think im actually unsure its been awhile and i havent got a chance to ask my question yet. so after i set the amp perfect i got to play music and the clip light on the bass know starts showing a clipped signal not constantly but it does flash am i doing something wrong or is this normal. also since the knob has incriments on it would it be possible to set it at -15 -10 -5 and 0 on the knob so i could adjust it from there?

my knob looks similar to this one

Don't trust the clip light on the remote go with what the dd 1 was set. Some of these bass remotes with clip lights go off early others late.

ok thankyou thats what i was curious of but i didnt know if i was actually hurting anything or not it doesnt sound bad but it just makes me nervous and do you know if its possible to set it to the remote on the db level?

yeah they're not entirely accurate

did you set the amp with the knob all the way up and sometimes it depends on the music some songs are 0db -5 -10 ect.
