[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7526980, member: 631331"] That isn't the only way to clip an amp. Amps are made for operations at certain volt/resistance parameters, pushing them outside of these parameters will cause clipping. I've seen amps with input voltage issues (not too low voltage from electric, but too high from preouts) clipping at 10% gain. You need to go through your settings again, One reason you are clipping may very well have to do with your "reasonable volume" operating the amp at .5 ohms. I highly recommend finding a volume where the amp operates with reglated voltage for your needs at around 60% gain and trying that. I also recommend changing your ohm load to a higher one and playing around with those two things to see if it helps. You need to change settings and wiring options to find something that works for you, assuming based of what other people have told you is not the way to go, it can help you get an idea of what worked for them. But you should never assume because they said so that that is the truth and everything else is moot. Not to be a jerk really I'm trying to help but you cannot be abesolutly sure unless you had an O-scope on that amp. If you have a multimeter I'd plug that into a channel on the amp and run tests at different volumes you may just find out that you can get the proper output voltage on that amp with a higher resistance load.
