[QUOTE="Kingbudman, post: 8479509, member: 668688"] I just picked up 2 Sundown Ev3-15 and have them hooked up to a Kenwood 9106d. Each sub should be getting 500@2Ohm. I put in a 40 hz tone and set the gain with the bass 0 and loudness off and can go to .5 volt until I hear a tone change. My head unit says it has 1v RCA but that is only 1/2 on the gain and I don't hear clipping until ~3/4. When I listen to music I have to turn the loudness on and bass up to +3 out of 6 until I hear distortion. Am I clipping when turning up bass and loudness even though I can't hear it? If so can anyone point me towards something cheap to tell me when it is clipping. Or do I need to just breakdown and buy something like a Crescendo BC2000D which will give me 1k@2ohms but also tells me when it is clipping. Also if I wanted I could push 2k@.5ohm and blow these subs and get some SA-15's which should handle 1k each. Thanks Kingbudman [/QUOTE]
