Big Lo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Clipping usually happens when the gains on amplifiers are set too high, or HU turned all the way up, songs that already contain clipping, and it also happens when an electrical system on a vehicle is not strong enough for a certain high powered amplifier. Let Decaf or one of the gurus chip in, they know it way more than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AssKicker Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 It's when the signal waves become square instead of curved. It will cause a smell and burning, but I personally have not experienced clipping because I set my gain 1v lower to accommodate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
