[QUOTE="CplCuddles, post: 8637706, member: 663649"] Hey guys, So I have a couple things I want to understand a little better. I understand how gain overlap works. What I'm not sure of is, for example if I set my sub amp with a -10db tone and I play a song with the loudest bass note at -11db, it would play at -1db, correct? So then if I play a song at -7.5db it would play at +2.5db? At which point does clipping occur in theory? +.1db? I know that clipping doesn't mean that it is inherently damaging your woofer, how can I gauge when too much is too much? I'd prefer a numerical explanation if possible. I understand numbers better. Thanks guise! [/QUOTE]
