[QUOTE="PaulD, post: 5437590, member: 589636"] when you use the calculator and DMM or oscope method, you are setting the gains so the amp will never clip. In reality, with real music it will clip about 10-20% of the time at med volume levels if the gains are set right. This is not bad and will not even be noticeable. All of this is assuming mid/tweet amps and speakers, for the subs you can clip them quite a bit more beforee it is noticeable. [/QUOTE]
