[QUOTE="gckless, post: 7980281, member: 635756"] [quote name='PapaGeno21']Ok if you run the PAC LC1, and set the gains with the knob on MAX then at your max setting you will never go above your max gain setting correct? As far as the DC light then how could it be clipping at such a low volume? Are you saying like the gains being too high can cause clipping even at low knob levels where as if the gains were set lower the knob could be turned higher without clipping? I really am lost right now not knowing what the amp is sending the sub as I have nothing to reference too. I don't know anyone in my area with a DD1 or Oscope. I am willing to drive a decent distance but my area ***** and it seems most people on the forums are west coast.[/QUOTE] Really any piece of gear that alters the waveform has the possibility to induce clipping.
