[QUOTE="ampresearch, post: 1920084, member: 568810"] just a quick double check. kicker amp with a birth sheet of 1750 watts RMS x1 at 2 ohm I have it hooked up to 2x s15L7 wired to give a 2 ohm load. is my math correct 1750x2= 3500 voltage out put at highest listening volume should be = 59.1 now if this is right that has my sub amp gain just below half way. while playing a 40hz test tone. IF if put the gain up the very slight click to half way the voltage jumps to 63.0 but the volume gets ALOT louder IMO still sounds just as clean. is it a huge risk to leave it at half way or am i best simply leaving it the small click below with no clipping at all. i guess my question is the 4 volt difference considered enough clipping to matter? is clipping damaging at any level or is it acceptable to a certain point? the only reason i ask is becaseu the volume change is rather drastic so of course i want more output but not at the cost of the subs. any info would be great thanks [/QUOTE]
