question about clipping?

[HypnotizeMinds 10+ year member]

ok i am well aware of what clipping IS, but how do i reduce the amount of it taking place in my system? ok please be mature and not completely rag on my brand choice, i have a 2300hct 2400w audiobahn amp and 2 1508t subs and my amp came with the bass knob that lights up blue, and flashes red when clipping occurs, and i turn the knob up just a little bit from all the way down and it clips like mad. i know thats bad for the subs but its gets god **** loud from that point. is there any way to reduce the level of clipping without dramatically sacrificing spl? feel free to ask me anything about my setup because i dont really know what causes it to clip so much. any HELP is appreciated. thanks

what load are you running your amp at?

are your subs DVC and if so what are they?

pay no attention to the knob...

if its not sounding like ***.. its fine..

you'll know when its clipping badly by ear..

load is 1ohm. each sub is dual 2 ohm voice coils and i got one sub per channel. so one ohm per channel.
