[QUOTE="chris229, post: 59041, member: 542614"] to end this tread lets just make it known that most people clip their amps on PURPOSE. I do ---proaudio people do----people who compete do--- WE have to---- because of the nature of MUSIC. Normal music has an average crest factor of 10dB. if you really are that worried about clipping and set your amp for a 1/1 input gain setting. then on a music track with 10dB crest factor you'd only be putting out 10W average in a 100W amp that is a waste. most people run a 3/1 meaning if the HU puts out 9v rms you'd set the amp for 3v -------hows that for clipping. ALL musical peaks will be clipped [/QUOTE]
