[QUOTE="Nikuk, post: 531565, member: 555692"] Rough explanation: you know that sound comes in waves? draw a wave on a piece of lined paper (notebook style), stay in the line. a few lines down draw a another wave that is bigger. where the top of the waves cross over the line? thats a clipped signal. myth. if this were the case then your setup would"blow" everytime you turn the volume down some. the reason people say you clip your amp when underpower is because they dont know how to use the amp. Acme X Sub handles 800 wrms, you have an amp that puts out 500 wrms. Now, if you set the gain properly you will give the amps 500w into the speaker. Where if you crank that sucker all the way up you are likely clipping it and feeding more then the amp is capable of cleanly putting out. its possible. check the gain setting sticky in the amp section. follow that and you will be golden. try it, see if you like it, if not, then consider buying new/different equip.
