[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8653975, member: 574798"] No you didn’t misunderstand that. Anyone would be better off with more power rather than less when it comes to distortion. The problem is setting your gains correctly. Just from reading your other post about your gains not turned wide open and only about half already tells me that you have your gains set too high. This largely depends on pre out voltage. You would never have the gain completely wide open unless you have the weakest signal ever. Half could very well be clipping too. Roughly 1/3 is where I usually set my gains at if I’m running a normal 4V aftermarket headunit. Even if your coils have a reading and your sub is not technically blown, doesn’t mean that it didn’t cause some damage to your sub. Also, where is your LPF set at right now? [/QUOTE]
