Check to see if the bass boost is up, if it is turn that bitch all the way down. And retune your gain, maybe they set it to high.

A bass boost is fine if he also tunes that before the amp but after the head unit. You guys are right about clipped recordings though.

Head unit

Processors (line drivers, EQs, bass boost, etc)

Amp

^thats the order your stuff should be tuned. Always tune with an o-scope for the maximum volume that's safe to be achieved. Anything else is just guessing.

it pretty much happens to all types of music,,, just at different volume levels... please people give more input

You need to tune with an o-scope. There's no other way to be sure. Tune in the order I showed above.
