[QUOTE="AstoSoup, post: 8310744, member: 640347"] Jeffdachef is also right on the clipping. Clipping is when your gain is turned up too high, bass boost is on or you have the bass/loud turned up too far on the head unit. Rule of thumb is, set your gain just below the head units preamp voltage. So if your head units preamps are 2v, set your gain to around 1.75v. This is just a basic starting point, as the only way to be 100% sure you are not clipping is to test your input signal with a DD-1, if your bass knob does not have a clip light. [/QUOTE]
