[QUOTE="sicone22, post: 8721007, member: 680905"] Yes the clipping light is because low voltage. You can always tune the amp down which will make it more efficient and more reliable. Just cause it can, doesn't mean it has to. Remember you are not playing with throw away subwoofers from big box stores. One reason they are more expensive is because those are the last subwoofers you would ever have too buy (they are not, not by a long shot, you'll change up in a year.....maybe 2 probably 6 months 😂) these drivers can be rebuilt, amplifiers can be rebuilt (most the time but sometimes it is not worth it, I do not know if you can make a driver deemed worthless or not aside from physical damage but every part can be replaced) Electrical is the silent killer that so many don't realize. It is expensive, It is hard to drop that much money on since it's a need not a want. Just make the power system adaptable as once the initial gut punch is surpassed it is easier to swallow. [/QUOTE]
