[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 4890870, member: 584852"] Is it possible to overpower without distortion present? I dont see how they could be clipped being my PDX4.150 is almost to the lowest gain setting. hopefully this weekend I can get out there with my DMM and check the output voltage on some higher frequencies. Well I would go after him if I thought it would have been defective which I was wondering if the tweeter or the cap going to it could have been defective leading to this failure. But its only $50 so not really worth it. Just want to make sure that I am not doing something drastically wrong that would cause this... Could I possibly be clipping with my gains set to almost the lowest setting? I have my rears gains set higher as the 6x9's can take more power. Neither of these sets can take the full power of this amp so I was being conservative on the gains without actually getting a DMM out to measure. EQ on the upper end is almost flat. Have 1 frequency set +2 db. Also as I said before my max is 25 where I set my gains and hear no distortion at 28. Could it be my loose coax connector? It came out but I push it in and it feels tight and it didn't appear to affect the sound at all. This is before I put it into the car and I was testing it on my 6x9's in the house. [/QUOTE]
