ok first question... does "dirty watts" make clipping occur? is dirty watts caused by ur head unit having "loud" on and having the bass up? how do u get clean watts?
you have to clean your amps to get clean watts.....
lol jk nah but i never turn on my loud function on my head unit they say it adds more disortion and i notice when i turn it on its louder but dosent sound as clean
good electrical system no bass boosts or manufacturer sound alterations like MX, BBE...ect. keep HU volume low when setting gains. set gains with Oscilloscope if you can. Sqrt(Watts X Load) = V AC at amp output ^ good start if you don't have a O-Scope ^ and keep crossover points and slopes set correctly.
