[QUOTE="deftones420, post: 6538042, member: 617174"] How would one obtain a "clean" signal? What do these terms, "clip" or "clipped" or "clipping" mean? I would think distortion is some sort of resistance, like, the cables aren't getting the proper voltage drop or something...or loose connections, bad wires/cables, etc... I have yet to do some valuable research on "gain setting controls." What's the most general tip when it comes to setting the proper gain output of an amplifier. There are so much to do research on, I just wouldn't know where to start. My amp has 2x25A fuses on the outside of it. Yeah, when I'm playing with the equalizer on the head unit, I try not to set so much boost. Let me guess, will current (amps) vary the amount of gain I will need from the amplifier when the EQ settings on the head unit has changed? On the head unit manual, where in the specs would I look for to find out the potential (yet safe) output of the component. How would I compare those specifications to the amplifier? Thank you guys so much. [/QUOTE]
