[QUOTE="TurboTBird, post: 5858901, member: 607186"] Hey, I get how the method works to ensure your not over power your subs. ie Use the max rms power rating and impedance to determine the the maximum voltage by applying the V^2=Prms*Z But how would this check for clipping? Because isn't Vrms just the average area under the curve which would be a sign wave ideally but it would work out the same even if it was an alternating square wave. Could I use the current setting of the meter tho to determine the signal quality? Like if I have the voltage set for 34.64V and the load is 2 ohm the tottal current shouldn't be more than 17.32amp right?... oh shit I guess I'd need a clamp meter for that..... [/QUOTE]
