Ok how come im not getting any clipping? I have two type-r's pushing total at least 600RMS. And my amp powers 1000watts rated. and when i turn the gain up all the way nothing really happens. i dont hear any distortion. whats the problem??

so you want the amp to clip or what //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif , you should be happy they are not clipping, unless they arent moving or getting loud enough

no i dont want them to clip but how could that be possible. im giving the subs more power than they can handle. or am i not?

is your sub out @ +15?

yup...and how much are each sub capable of RMS? i herd they can go to 600RMS? is that correct?

how much rms are you pushing to each sub i pushed 450 rms to each sub when i had my type r's and they took them easy, also how high do you have your gain on your amp

well i have BX1500d running at 2ohms for 1000watts. but i think the amp is a bit overated so i think the amp is pushing 900RMS. my gain is set in the middle of 3/4.

lol why the hell would you even try to clip your amp? you are a douchebag for wanting to piss your type-R's off....

Clipped signal or unclipped signal.....if you are sending your subs more than they can handle, bad things should be happening.

Where is your volume level at during this "testing"?

those subs are underrated in my opinion

yea i know...21...how do i know how much power to send them?

In a sealed box, the power handling is typically increased so your Type Rs might be taking the power, but I would not go and try some test tones at high volumes just to see if it will clip. Its not good for the amp nor the subs, and should not be a goal of yours imo.

Turn the volume all the way up.
