[QUOTE="CplCuddles, post: 8641944, member: 663649"] I have a question regarding this that maybe you'd be able to answer. I do set my gains with a -10db test tone and a DD-1 as well as an Oscope to double check everything. I also check 90% of the music I listen to in audacity and take down the loudest note such as "15 -(44,-6.7)The Percocet & Stripper Joint" and I adjust my music accordingly for my -10db gain setting. My main question is, am I immediately clipping if go .1 or 1db over? such as playing a 9db song with my settings. I mean I imagine it works very similar to how you guys do it in the sense of if the song feels like it hits harder than most and I haven't tested it I don't play it full volume. I mean I'm sure the way you guys do it your THD is prob is the >10% range, ik clipping doesn't directly hurt my subs/amps, its all about the heat. How do you guys monitor your amp heat? ik sub its typically stinky subs. And since music is dynamic would playing a song with -6db bass with my -10db tune really hurt in the long run? I mean for instance future songs, I can play them without any adjustment and I know i'm going over my limit, but my subs and amps dont get hot at all.
