brsteinbach Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Well the title is kinda confusing so let me explain. Right now the amp I have is kinda under powering my subs so I want to upgrade. Well the thing is, if I upgrade I have to sell the amp I'm running now so that means no bass for the time being because I would need to save up a little longer after it sold to afford a new one. But anyways do you guy's think I should do it, Like is it worth going with out bass for a couple weeks? Cause right now since I'm under powering them they are clipping, so thats not safe and sounds like shit obviously. So do you guy's think I should do it? Thanks!

kl0wn Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Why are you letting the amp clip? It depends how much you are underpowering them, if they can handle 2x what you're throwing at them, I would not be worried about clipping. But on the topic, why not just save up for the new amp, till you have close to enough THEN sell your amp and have enough money for the new amp? You wouldn't go but maybe a day without bass..unless you are buying it offline, then just a few days.

Well I'm "letting" it clip cause I am trying to get as much as I can out of it but that is making it clip. I'm no noob at this so don't hate. But anyways I don't have a job right now and I'm 17 so the only way I make my money is installing HU's and amps and subs so I would need to sell this one to make up for the difference. Also I would be buying it offline to save a little dough.

kylecm85 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 honestly if it was me and did not have a real job. I would just wait till i could find a way to save the money. That way your not stuck for months without bass at all.
