How much clipping is too much?


Recommended Posts

i guess it really depends on the system ie: power, electrical, airspace, subs, and how comfortable you feel with your subs. i try to limit AS MUCH clipping as possible onmy system but a little here and there doesnt hurt the btls.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Check out the new Paul Wall album on WMP...that's clipping, except for On Patron and I think one other track :)

What do you mean with the last part?

Only rock music should be clipped.(well i mean music with a electric guitar in it.):P

to respond to the title, audible clipping is too much for me.(but i can hear clipping/distortion fast :P)

Or if u're subs blow from a certain song, then it's too much. :pardon:

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

You can also see when you subs are clipping... espcially on a song with sweeps such as put on... the cone of the woofer will say 1" back and fourth but while maintaining 1" of the excursion the cone will "float" in and out... Kind of hard to explain lemme see if I can find a youtube video of what I mean.... The was a real good example of it on a 15 or 18" BTL sealed off from the trunk.

Found it, also notice after some bass notes end it pull back in real weird.... Thats not always the framerate of the camera... If you have even seen someone clip there subs hardcore in person watch it will do the exact same thing.
