Your source is clipping causing the amp clip.

My source is 5v so I probably wouldn't even turn the gain past 25% lol... When I had my rockford power amps I barely had to move the gain.. not even a quater of the way

What are you using to judge that the nendo amps clip at low gain. Using high voltage head unit?

I don't know it's just what people have told me lol so was trying to get other people to chime in

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

I've been trying to find some info on the s1500 nominal wiring stability and came across this thread

Not to bring it back from the dead, but if someone is looking at nendo gear, this thread could scare them off.

I have 4 s1500s. Yes, they clip at around 25% gain, but that is because I have 5v preouts going to them.
Gain isn't a volume knob, it's a voltage matching tool.

I promise you the entire symphony series sounds clean and puts out crazy power. I have 8 of them.
I would recommend them to anybody.

PS: I have them wired at 1.4 nominal currently and I cannot get them hot, even after 90 straight minutes of full tilt (0db DD1 clean)

Yes I have a lot of stereo weight. I build for Smiles Per Gallon not Miles Per Gallon LOLZ

My build - 1996 4Runner with 2 18s - 149+ in a sealed box (with radiators)

i have tuned nendo amps with the DD-1 and have not seen nothing out of the ordinary. tunes jut like any other amp

clipping at 25% is normal if you have a higher voltage pre amp signal.. the gain starts at 6v and max gain is 2v if you have a signal of 4v is about 50% gain. 5v signal is at 25%. many newer HU have high voltage output

I have a nendo symphony s1500.1 running a skar audio zvx-18 with psi softparts

All I can say is that's an awesome little amp, I went from using 2 bridged channels from a nvx jad800.4 to this monoblock and what a difference.

I gain-matched it with a dd-1 using the -5db track. If I had to choose, I go with nendo all day

by the way, I have 4 volts pre-out and doesn't clip at all.
