[QUOTE="aarunt1, post: 6722130, member: 552930"] This is not a new problem I just never asked about it. Anyways I set my gain correctly using a multimeter and a tutorial at SSA. My sub if currently sealed. Even when I crank it, it's just not as loud as I'd like it. I will likely go ported soon to get more output but my real problem is that sometimes when I have it cranked, I will get a clip so I immediately lower the volume. But it doesn't even seem like the sub is at its full potential so I don't even know if its really getting the full 1200 wrms or not. I'm just confused exactly what is going on because my headlights (or any other lights for that matter) don't dim at all when it's cranked so I wouldn't think that my amp is drawing too much current to clip. So is my amp clipping or my headunit? My h/u has 2.2V preouts so I suppose 4V preouts could be better but is this really a problem? Your thoughts on this please!
