In that case just make sure your gain is set properly. Clipping is what happens when you overdrive your amplifier due to the gain being set to high. When your amp clips, it will send DC current (a square wave) to your speakers instead of AC current (a sine wave). Over time, this will cause your speakers voice coil to overheat and burn up. In this graphic, the blue line is a clipped signal and the green line is a clean signal:  |
