[QUOTE="paintballer, post: 2412815, member: 560259"] the only reason why i didnt set the gains by ear for the subwoofers as well is because for me, it seems like its verry hard to detect clipping in subwoofers. Maybe it isnt, i just dont knoiw what clipping in a sub will sound like. If i went through with the dmm again, would -6 db be fine you think then. I thought it would be fine because of the fact that only peaks reach realy high limits, not the continuous notes. and if only peaks reach high db levels, then it would be for a such a short period of time, and isnt a little bit of clipping ok and not bad at all, considering my subwoofer RMS is 450 and my amp is only 400. Arent the amps and subs designed to go a little higher than RMS, isnt that why they have a peak wattage value labeled all over the box and what not? THanks man. [/QUOTE]
