kl0wn Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 What does your electrical look like? Low voltage can also cause the amp to clip. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz

Deschain420 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/4382-setting-amplifier-gain-control/ Tutorial is 2nd post, but I imagine any question you might have will be answered further in that thread. 1000 watts (those Type R's rms), @ 1 ohm is 31.62 volts by the Audio.Calc guide (someone please double check that in case I'm reading it wrong).

audiofanaticz Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 i know im clipping, but im doing it on purpose. a single 12" p2 isnt meant to see 1500wrms LOL it makes my car stink though Clipping has nothing to do with over powering a sub or the power being giving to the sub... It could stink because of the excessive power being tossed at the voice coil. It could clip because of that gain all the way up along with the bassboost. But its deffinitly not clipping because your over powering your 250wrms/500peak woofer with 1500wrms+. Unless you are one of those that thinks the gain is a volume knob. Oh and why would you want to ruin a sub on purpose... If you are clipping your amp on purpose its not to bright on your end.
DClark3one3 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Posted May 21, 2010 im clipping because my gains are a 1/4 of the way up and the bass boost is all the way up, im clipping because i have my hu loudness on and my bass boost all the way up, im clipping for many different reasons. So please dont try and insult me, i am not a noob. And i could care less if a blow the amp and the sub, and even fry my alt, because im in the process of building right now, this is just to tide me over until i get everything in. 97 Yukon GT Pioneer 9400BH Under the hood: MCR 250a alt DB Link 1/0 2 runs Big 3 Front Stage: Focal 165A1 Rear Stage: Neo Pro 6.5's/ T1 Tweets Mids/Highs Power: PPI PC650 The Bump:2 SA 15's Power: SAZ 1500DV.2 @ .5ohm (Waiting for D4's to hook up my Mojo 2500.1) 8cu @ 33hz All 1" Double Baffled. 145.6 sealed @ kick 146.2 w/ down @ dash
