Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 It wont cause clipping unless you wire it to a unstable ohm load. i think you accidentally every other cause of clipping also, like gain settings, bass boost, bass settings, LOUD, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Well if amp is uunder rated I think I had gain to high to compensate the amp is 2ohm bridged to 200 watts and the subs are 4ohm wired in paralell to 2 ohms I had the bass increase at full on radio so that passengers can mess with it safely but could to small wire from amp to subwoofer cause clipping ?? What are some other causes of clipping??

If you want 'safety' you should turn the bass all the way down. Or better yet set the gain correctly so if you turn it all the way up, it still isn't clipping.
