HU at 50/62 (pioneer)
amp gain at ~2/3 (bxi2607)
~55-60 volts at 8 ohms is what I'm getting out of it (this is before any audible clipping while standing right in front of the sub)
Now, my HU has an SLA function which is a "signal level adjustment" or in other words, basically a gain on my HU, usually I have it at zero, but it can go to -4 or +4.
I noticed if I turn it to +4 my amp KIND OF sounds like its clipping but not too bad. From inside the car, it doesn't sound distorted at all, and it just gets SIGNIFICANTLY louder.
Now, in my experience, and from what I've read, when an amp starts clipping, it usually doesn't really make it sound any louder, it just makes it more distorted. But in this case, from inside the car at least, it sounds like I just threw another MJ or two back there when I turn that SLA to +4, and it moves ALOT more air/you feel it alot more/overall just hits way harder.
Voltage goes up to 70 btw
So do you think its clipping the **** out of my sub? or do you think its okay? Maybe its okay just when I'm tryin to show off (as in for only a couple minutes at a time)?
