From clipping, yeah.

Does clipping come from turning the gain up to high? I have the gain set at about 9 o’clock

Thanks, that video was great. Now the only thing I’m wondering is how to determine the recommended voltage I need to set the gain to.

subs are rated at 900 per sub.. so 1800 total

sqrt of 1800 = 42 volts

Thanks for the math, but my L7 12” are rated at 600 in a ported box and 750 in a sealed box, at least that’s what kicker website said.
