what is the noise that is made when you clip the amp? and is it made from the sub or the amp? when i turn it up i hear like a rubbing click or something like that from my left sub and idk if its clipping or if its the sub
clipping is when you are overdriving the amp and the sine wave signal gets the top "clipped" off. niether the sub or amp would make noises from clipping unless it is terribly bad and your vc starts burnig and sorts of badness happens. the noise from you subs is prolly from giving them too many watts.
no, i have stock alt and im running 4 gauge wire, i have a 120 amp fuse on the power wire, and the cone gets hot after about a half hour of playin on about 22 with gain on full and bass on 7 out of 15
22 out of 35. everything sounds good, but idk what clipping is saposed to sound like or anything, its a lexus so i think the parts a pretty good but i know the stock mids and tweeders suck as for the stock sub, that was taken out becore i got the car lol
I agree, I can notice clipping pretty quick. I have also noticed when adding bass boost, you know it's clipping when you add more and it makes no difference in sound, lol ... Polo..
DUDE, I JUST GO BY WHY SOUNDS BEST!!!!! I KNOW IM GOING TO GET ALOT OF SH!T FOR THIS so bring it on guys im ready LOL... doesn't it just controle the amount of power that is either taken or given by the amp?
if your HU has 4 volt pre-outs.......then you want the gain a.k.a. the "input sensitvity knob" to be set around or a little below 4v.....the reason being is b/c your HU will put out these 4v near full volume.....and the tiny MOSFETS inside most aftermarket HU's will begin to clip at full power......sooooo they say it is wise to tune your gain with your HU at 3/4 volume.
