I want my subs to put out 400 Watts Continuous power

the subs receive the power. the amp puts out the power. it will put out the rms that it really can (sometimes they are overrated or underrated)

Subs dont put out power. Amps do. The sub receives the power the amp puts out, theres no setting you put the subs on to make them receive rms or peak. The only way to change the wattage the sub recieves is to eithe get a new amp or wire your voice coils in series or circuit. But that's a little over your head.

THAT was great! haha.

But yeah............

I am curious though... How can you tell the point at which your amp starts clipping?

I'll help you. Go plug your subs into a wall socket, that tests them and sets them to RMS power. It's the only way to do it. 1 minute in a wall socket sets them to peak power, 2 minutes sets them to RMS power. 3 minutes sets them in between that, will give your woofers a bigger punch so you can piss people off.

no ur just asking the question when all the smartasses (myself included) are on.... the older people are at work. if you are nice and dont say stupid shit you might be able to get one of them to be serious and tell you something....then again if you're asking how to be louder so you wake people up good ****ing luck.
