[QUOTE="pimpnyou204, post: 7635875, member: 612180"] Yes another one of those threads.. But mine I think is different.. Equipment- Eclipse avn 726e Rainbow slc set ran off amp crossovers Greenlee dmm Arc audio ks 300.4 Ok my headunit I've done a ton of research and everyone says it will not clip at full tilt at all unless u play with the treble and such. Reguardless I'm not pushing it to 5v. My speakers are 100 rms each. The amp is 90 rms at 4ohms and will not clip at all at 4v and supposedly won't slightly higher either.
