[QUOTE="paintballer, post: 2355964, member: 560259"] thanks for the help guys. yeah i looked at the gain level on the amp, and it looks like they turned it up to .5 something which looks almost all the way up. My sub level volume on the deck right now is like 5 out of 17. Say when i turn the volume up to 22 but no more. and then increase the sub volume as i did. Would that induce clipping at the subs since i havent gone over the 22 mark with the main volume control, but from there i have increased the sub voulme a little more. Would increasing the bass and sub volumems opn the deck override into the clipping zone just as the master volume switch does. But when i turn up the sub and bass volume, it never does that weird change in volume tone, only with the master volume. After listening to it more at the 22 -23 mark, the speakers seem to go down a hair, then shoot back up when i go to 24,25,26,27. I want to be as safe as possible, and im worried that i might have screwed the subs up already. Would they be hurt from the clipping they have gotten so far. I got the sound system installed like a month ago. Is there a way withouth buying anything else( like the sub remote control) to make it so that i am not able to even reach this clipping volume. I mean like making it so that that 22 mark on the master volume would be the loudest i could turn the subs up. I dont want to be able to even reach that point of clipping. would this all be done with the setting the gain in a certain way. Thanks for the help guys. [/QUOTE]
