robin plays its full tilt alot, (or close to it) on his 880, and his components dont distort or anything.

i thought anything past 3/4 is clipping and thats why you set your gains at 3/4 volume?

The Pioneers (or at a minimum the 880) do not clip until 60/60. I have my gains set with -10dB tones but with low level material I can play my 880 at 59/60 and not have any head unit clipping either.

It was a little scary at first. I think psychologically we, as humans, are used to things beginning to clip at around 75%. Something comforting about even though we know its technically "all the way up" we like the fact that we still have some rotation left in the knob.

Problem was the gain setting, if I remember right you had decent preamp outs on your head unit so the gain shouldn't be most of the way up. Need to get a DMM on that amp. Sorry to hear the RLP popped //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The mag can hold more power but a clipped signal is a clipped signal so you wanna figure that gain setting out before it starts cookin the mag.

i put a dmm on the rl-p today and each coil reads 2.1-2.0

soooo i drilled a new ground and sanded down the contact spot for a while to make sure everything is 100% right, checked over all my wiring and everything seems to be fine

rl-p = not blown //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif happy night for me
