Switchblade Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 And to be honest, it doesn't seem to be hitting that hard. NOW, the baseknob that I have (Which lights up blue) is lighting up red almost any time the bass hits. I googled it and it says that's when the amp is "Clipping". I have no idea what that means but it doesn't sound good. Does it mean I need to get another battery? Could this ALSO be the reason why it's not very loud? Amp is a Audiobahn a1300hct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCiarlino Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Set it with a DMM. Search, I am sure there is a thread on here that tells you how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchblade Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Set it with a DMM. Search, I am sure there is a thread on here that tells you how. Alright. But what exactly is "Clipping" because like I said, it would start lighting up red as soon as the bass was hitting with the volume not even turned up that loud ...

tacomabanga1986 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 what ohm load u runnin? if u got d4 subs try to wire it to 4ohm and see if it still does that cause it might be to low of ohm load n amp cant run it by buddie had 3 kenwood 12's on an audiobahn amp but it didn't turn out well ied check ur ohm load, and if ur running 0guage or bigger to amp then thats fine and u got stock electrical? and to simplyfy clipping is an amp trying to do more than it can and distorts the signal and puts 12v pulses into the signal, i got an amp that does this when ever u set it to lp kinda like running a 500rms sub on a 150rms amp i would turn the lpf and bass boost all the way down, then turn the gain up a lil bit n see if it still clipps, and check ur decks settings also cause i got the oldschool 8000's and im giveing them 400rms and there 500rms n it seems like its to much really, but i unno bout the new series subs, i got a set of 5500 15's too and they eat the power up and there only 300rms so i unno, my amps a memphis pr1000.1 i would try another amp if i could n see what happins here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
