ok i just hooked up my zx1500.1 to my 18 fi bl and i have the bass boost off and the gain set half way. when i turn it up it seems like it is pulsing kinda like some notes hit harder than the others.. i'm not sure quite how to describe it, its just not a very steady bass line. would this be clipping? and how can i fix it?

Have you checked to see how steady your voltage is? I'd go to a shop with an oscilliscope and have them set your gain for you if you don't have one.

You can not just set your gain to half way, get a DMM and set your gain correctly.

Even using a dmm will not tell you if it's clipping, only using a o-scope will show that.

Thats the first step to reduce the chances of clipping...set your gain correctly... then check with a o-scope
