-No-
Preouts can clip.

An I'm sure it has to do with bass treble loud buttons as well since they effect the strength of the signal. So lets say you preouts clip at 22/35 with all setting flat then they will clip even earlier with the loud button on etc.

We still do not have an answer on when an Alpines preouts clip. Squeak says that they can clip but I wanted to know at what level 20/35 or 32/35.

preouts can clip.

now set ALL your EQ\bass\whatever to DEFUALT (flat\0), then try it again.

now, before - when he was talking about clipping - at around 22 on MY alpine, the INTERNAL AMPLIFIER will clip and distort my SPEAKERS - however, at that SAME volume, my sub never sounded distorted. so no - your subwoofer preout should not be clipping. but i had my bass EQ at -1 and my subwoofer level at like 4.

turn the freaking settings down. it sounds like your amp is set pretty conservativly, maybe wanna set that with a little more output?

My settings are fine, I just wanted to know when the preouts clip and why would a HU manuf. would have a HU that does this when it is completely avoidable. I know that the internal HU amp will clip but I have not used one of those since I was 17 and could not afford an amp.
