[QUOTE="Sepeti522, post: 8666740, member: 676256"] Oh shoot okay that makes more sense now. You're exactly right, I've always thought that clipping originates from the subs. whereas basically you're saying when im turning up my speakers and trying to get more output, my subs are asking for tons of power but my amplifier is not capable of supplying that much power so it just starts scrambling and puts out wavelengths to the sub that are clipping which in turn causes my subs to clip? Is that correct, did I understand you correctly? But maybe this could help., so I had 1 type x at first and they're rated at 900 rms individually on my 1000 RMS amp. Yet I couldn't even turn my gain half way up without it clipping. I do also always crank my volume all the way up. Could the volume be the issue (basically asking for too much output?) Would I maybe benefit from upgrading speakers so I dont have to turn my volume to nearly full power? I definitely am gonna do a big 3 upgrade and find a new amp... what other electrical upgrades would you suggest and do you know where I could find a quality amp for a decent deal? Thank you so much for helping a new and learning person as myself to car audio [/QUOTE]
