[QUOTE="Lowrdr, post: 7182674, member: 629910"] You must lose more newbs with that link, why come back. Seriously what a wealth of information, it is obvious the author is passionate about his craft. I spent most of last night reading through it, much to my wife's chagrin. Parts I had to read a couple time but I feel I have a firm grasp on clipping, what it is, how it happens, how the amp plays into it and the potential fallout from it. One question on clipping I didn't see specifically addressed is how do you know when it is happening w/o a scope? Trained ear? What would you listen for to know if your signal is being clipped? So now I understand about under powering, but what about overpowering your speakers. Is it as simple as don't turn the volume past the capacity of the speakers? And if so how do you know you are approaching that threshold? Thanks again for that link I know I will reference it often in my install. I particularly like the parts on fuses/wire gauge and amplifiers. Still lots more to discover. I'm Chester BTW, from Boston. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
