[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1947718, member: 555320"] Subwoofers don't clip. The amplifier does. Doesn't work that way. Amplifier clipping is a result of setting either the amplifier's gain, bass boost, or a combination of both at too high of a level. As long as you set your gain and bass boost correctly (read the gain setting tutorial in the amplifier section if you're not sure), then you have absolutely no worries about clipping taking place. By the way...subwoofers don't "want" anything. They are reactive, they simply do what they are directed to do by the signal being sent to them. Nothing more. Now, you may not have enough power to push the subwoofer to it's fullest potential. But the subwoofer itself does not know and does not care, it simply responds to the signal, no matter how large or small. [/QUOTE]
