TLEJ Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 But it USE to hit hard.. until I was told to turn it down .. I don't even think it was clipping to be honest. It sounded fine.. I think I know what clipping sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHR Ed Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Did you actually read it with an O-scope to see if its clipping? Or are you just guessing?

TLEJ Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm putting 400 RMS watts to a DVC CRV 15" Kicker.. (500RMS I don't know what the amp is.. It has no name, but I metered it and got about 400watts RMS at 2 ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLEJ Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 No, I don't even really know if it was clipping in the first place. I just turned down the amp until I got the correct voltage to set my gains properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLEJ Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Does a coil fry gradually? Or just in a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
