I Am Clipping!....how Do I Avoid It?


Recommended Posts

ok, I got my system together tonight, and i turned it up.... and I clipped....why??

I believe i am running at 2ohm, i have 2 2ohm dvc's, the subs are wired in series, and parrallel(thats spelled wrong) into the amp. I have a kicker kx 2500.1. i am using an audiocontrol four.1 eq/line driver, and also a bass knob.....big 3 is done....and it only did it on the song "in the air tonight" with the bass..(you know the one). I did try other songs, but not as loud....and no clipping. maybe I should have turned them up also....to see if they would have clipped.

any ideas???

Highs: 2X 4X6"s, 2X 3.5"s, 4X 5.25" comps, Q-Logic kicks, and a Sundown SAX-125.2

I am not sure about the bass boost on the amp....i will turn it off in the morning, but as for the gain, I only had it at %20.....
How high was the volume on the head unit? Maybe your gain is too low and the clipping is coming from your HU not your amp. :unknw:

Check bass boost settings on the amp and Hu, turn them both off.

And then you can turn up your gain.
