yes but clipping is not something you want to have going on in the first place

Yes. Clipping is when the amp is trying to produce true DC-DC power, so that'll heat things up a lot, plus when an amp is clipping, it's power nearly doubles a lot of times. Of course, this equals heat, and it would be noticeable.
