What exactly does clipping sound like?


Recommended Posts

Thats my question. How do you tell if your system is clipping just by listening? What to look for? Thanks.

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.

Err, what?

Wait, wait. 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.
