If your power is too dirty your sub will start to turn brown/dirty looking.

Dirty power is clipped or distorted power, basically.

isnt that what you use an oscope to prevent? im trying to read up on tis stuff for a purchase of an audiopipe ap15001d i keep seeing that they are testing at 1500 at 1 ohm with no clipping. but people keep saying its dirty power. so i thought maybe dirty power was referring to something else.

naw man, all these ca pro's got it wrong. dirty power is physical dirt going tru your speaker wire to your subs. lol jkin its when the sound coming out is not good sounding. in laymans terms.

The power that audiopipe amps make will start to corrode your speaker wire and voice coils from the inside out, it will start rotting like flesh from a spider bite.
