[QUOTE="req, post: 1743694, member: 555713"] no, in fact i doubt he will ever see 1300w to music. because you need to remember at FS, the impedance of the speaker can reach excess of 40ohms. and FS is usually ~30hz or so on subwoofers. so on the really super low notes, the impedance is rising like a biotch - and the amp is seeing NOWHERE NEAR that power rating. in all reality maybe like 300w~500w average REAL power to music. and also guy - most cars only come with 80a alts. so im pretty sure you should be overly fine with a 130a. and no, clipping does not need to effect the sound of the music or the output. but clipping will make your amp draw more current and be less efficent in general. so [B]SET YOUR GAINS WITH A MULTIMETER AND A TEST TONE AT YOUR USUAL LISTENING VOLUME!!![/B] and your problems should go away.
