[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8170450, member: 655960"] What head unit are you using, because if your head unit is sending a clipped signal, a DMM won't help much with dirty power. Amps are dumb. They amplify whatever signal you send them so if you send them a dirty signal, your DMM will show X volts but that X volts might be a dangerously clipped signal. I asked what head unit you're using because a lot of people have already checked certain models for the volume level at which they clip. If you can't check that with a DD-1 or scope, there may be someone who has already done that and shared it or, will pop in and share. Also... will you be running a processor? Because that has an effect on the signal as well. [/QUOTE]
