bumpnthump Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Thats my question. How do you tell if your system is clipping just by listening? What to look for? Thanks.
jmanjr82 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 you really cant, but you can sure as hell SMELL COILS FROM IT! Several factors can cause clipping as well, do more investigation on that first man.

The bass sounds flat to me you really cant, but you can sure as hell SMELL IT! Several factors can cause clipping as well, do more investigation on that first man. You can't smell clipping, you smell the voice coils. And yeah several factors can cause clipping, not having a strong enough electrical, gains turned up too much, etc. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz

You're the same guy who was telling me that some guy did usaci SPL records with 1 coil per sub disconnected? Go back to your hole. Clipping is absolutely audible, stop posting bullshit when you don't know what you're talking about. 10.x volts fo' life!
