    How accurate is the clipping light on the bass knob

    So I have a Skar audio 4500.1D amplifier https://www.skaraudio.com/products/skv2-4500-1d-monoblock-subwoofer-car-amplifier And the bass knob came with a clip light, and doing some test with it, the light comes on way before the subs start audibly clipping, should I trust the light or audibly?
