Clipping and batteries

[K9_Candyman]

I try to explain the problem. When i set my gains i always use an oscilloscope, volume 25/35 and still not able to go even one third gain because it clips fast, a friend of mine have like the same build and he can go very very louder than me without clipping. Can the problem be the lack of batteries/electrical? I have 3 100ah agm's and 120a alternator, big 3 done, 0 awg cables and i thought it was enough. tried different oscilloscope but is the same. The amplifier is a stetsom 8000 with 1 ohm load, but before i had a powerus 10k and the same problem. Can be the batteries not enough? at full tilt the voltage drop not lower than 12.6. please help me.

What kind of speaker output voltage do you have at the clip point?

97.5 no clipping, 98 clipping

97.5 volts at 1 ohm is 9506 watts. I don’t see a problem.

Tell me a thing, can be that is only a placebo that my friend play louder than me because his box Is tuned a little lower? Mi e Is tuned at 32, his at 28

The box could easily be the problem. The box is the most important part of the subwoofer system.
