[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8298910, member: 660947"] Clipping is a serious offense in the car audio community, don't get caught doing it. It's a hot topic and opinions vary but i want to share my thoughts on setting the gain, some people recommend a 75% volume level when setting the gain, that works perfect IF you don't turn the volume up higher than 75%, if you do it's clip city. Set the gains at the volume level where you listen to the music, if it's WFO like me then turn the volume ALL the way up when setting the gains, if the gains were set at 75% volume now you're listening at 100% volume you are clipping the signal by asking the amplifier for more volume then it was adjusted to provide with a specific voltage, if you want 100% volume then set the gains with the volume at 100%. That is unless you like listening to your music with the bass and treble turned all the way down, but we need to add some bass and treble soooooooo once you're done setting the gains dial em back just a touch to allow for a generous dose of bass and treble from the tone controls..
