    Checking for clipping with DMM

    Okay, thanks! That helps a lot. I am infact trying to tune a 700Wrms amp to my subs which are 600Wrms total. I was a little worried that my head unit was clipping tho and i was thinking that might carry through the amplifcation. Maybe I'm just not understanding what the real problem with...

    Thank you for posting something that is meant to be helpful. So how can one set the amp gains correctly if the DMM method and the oscillioscope method doesn't work?

    Checking for clipping with DMM

    Hey, I get how the method works to ensure your not over power your subs. ie Use the max rms power rating and impedance to determine the the maximum voltage by applying the V^2=Prms*Z But how would this check for clipping? Because isn't Vrms just the average area under the curve which would...

    Amp to match infinity 12s

    Amp to match infinity 12s

    Hey people, this is my first post here so hello an all that... I've got two infinity 1230W reference 12" subs. They are 300W rms, 4ohm single coil and in a sealed box. I'm pretty sure that means I should have an amp rated for 600W rms @ 2ohm. I'm just not sure what brand or model to go with...
