[QUOTE="Phoenix Risen, post: 7123502, member: 623425"] its only putting out 200 watts because that its built to put out, just because something says 1000watts on it, doesnt mean that it will put that out. you have too look at the actual ratings not the marketing gimic # and clipping is when you ask your amp to do more power than it can it starts to send square sine waves instead of the smooth curves that they are supposed to be, when playing square sine waves you woofers do not have time to cool between waves and will eventually fail, you must set the gain on your amp properly or you will go through a lot of equipment, despite popular notion among ppl new to car audio the gain is not a volume knob.
