[QUOTE="redngreedy, post: 4611598, member: 594200"] For starters, I have 2 brand new Fi q 12's (dual 1 ohm voice coils) with the BP option. I'm running a JBL BP 1200.1. Stock electrical, except battery. Running the q's in a sealed box with about 2.5 cubs total. Power and grounds are all 4 gauge. Wire for subs is 12 gauge. I'm having a problem with the amp clipping. I have set the gains with a DMM, and still come up with horrible clipping. It's worse when I have the sub control on the hu high (which was set with a DMM as well.) It doesn't matter if I set it at 1, or 8, I still encounter clipping. I'm not losing voltage, as I can't get the volume up enough to draw the power. Even if I back the bass down a couple of notches on the hu, it still clips. Even when setting up with a DMM, if I back it off a little, still same thing. Ideas? [/QUOTE]
