Does doing the big 3 help with clipping problems? or does that mean I need a new alternator..i dont have the money for an alt right now so hopefully doing the big 3 will solve some of my issues.

If your voltage is dropping below the amps operating capabilities would be the only way the amp would clip cuz of voltage im pretty sure.

to put it simply, no clipping is cause by having a signal going to amp at a higher voltage than the amps gain is set to match.

Yeah thats another one make sure the two match, amp and HU that is.

neither of those answers. i understood..youll have to go 1st grade with me on that..I was told that if I did the big 3 it would help with my clipping problem..which whenever I clip that just means my alternator is telling me to get it replaced..but I dont have the money for that right now so if I just upgrded the big 3 then it would be fine.

Okay there is a knob that reads 0.2 to ummm like 8 or something the numbers vary so in example. Your head units rcas put out a certain voltage too so u need to match the amp to that voltage...

i have a stock head unit. what is the big 3 going to do then? i dont think my question has been straight up answered yet?

turn your gains down smart one...

So how do you have the amplifier connected? With the highs plug or with rcas?

are you using a line output converter? or have your wires connected to the high plug on your amp?

Big 3 helps the "flow" of electrons go through your car.

It helps you get more power to your amps.

Clipping is PURELY amp side.

You head unit sends out a signal at X volts. It depends on the head unit. That signal is then accepted by the amp. The amp has a knob that lets you change how sensitive it is.

When the amp is too sensitive to the signal, the signal gets clipped.

How is your amp...connected to...the head...unit.

this man put it better, wouldn't say first grade terms but if you cant understand it the way he said it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
