Rockford R750-1D (750W) vs Sundown SALT-2 (2000W) barely any difference in volume? No voltage drop when clipping?

[QUOTE="Terrum, post: 8812710, member: 657229"] Apologies for my ignorance, but what exactly is it I need to do? The formula is accurate (44.72VAC = √2000W x 1Ω) so when measuring the speaker terminal's voltage I'll be looking for ~45V, but do I need to do this when playing a tone just before the clipping point? I've had a little play around today with the subsonic and LPF and got it to start outputting better, it actually drops voltage when clipping now and the coils start smelling (so I know for sure I'm getting the best output now) so that solves most of this thread. But I am still curious as to why the kicks are louder than the basslines (e.g: in trap/rap music you have a kick then a long bassline after it). Currently it clips on the kicks so now I'm getting very loud kicks but quieter basslines with the same songs I've used for testing for years on many amps that haven't had any trouble equalizing the kicks and basslines.
