[QUOTE="liftedcj7on44s, post: 2967669, member: 575614"] well so far i have checked the amp with a DMM. car idling no music gives 13.8. turning the volume up to the point i start hearing the distortion/clipping the clip light on the amp does come on and voltage i have seen drop to 11.6 volts. the reason my gain is up 3/4 way is due to 2v preouts. i need to find out why i am losing voltage and if thats the problem or not. Should i still make the box smaller? ID says not too. but it sounds like i got 1 8 in the car and then bam its clipping all to hell. what do i do? even songs that wang really hard like prodigy's narayan just sound like im running 1 8 and i cant go louder because its clipping like crazy.
