97 tahoe 2 door
Ok i got this amp.. https://www.online/CarAudio/p_18561_Hifonics_XXV_Colossus.aspx
Im running 2 12inch l5s kickers (in a small sealed box)
i have them hooked up like this running 4 ohm 2000rms
..
My amps got a led for cliping built into it.. (led clipping sensor light is also on the Knob up front)
just got everything hooked up.. all 0 gauge ground and power
the led has 3 colors
GREEN for pre clip
ORANGE for soft clip
RED for hard clip
when i turn it up not to far like where its just starting to bang the GREEN PRE CLIP LIGHT blinks when it hits..
TUrn it up a lil more about to what they should prob sound like youll see the orange light blink
I have never yet seen it blink red tho.. for a hard clip....
WHen it says its soft clipping its really sounding good .. nice and clear and here no distortion from subs at all? Whats clipping ? the amp or the subs ? whats going on?? help?
is it ok to GREEN pre clip ?
is it ok to ORANGE soft clip ?
or course its not ok to RED hard clip..?
can anyoner help me here.. please.. i dont wanna mess nothing up.. thanks
Set your gain properly and the amp should not clip. Check the Hot Topics forum.

is pre clip bad?
is soft clip bad?
of coruse hard clip is bad,..
But will i blow a sub by precliping or soft clipping?
when teh lights blink clip .. is it the subs? say if i had l7 15s instead of l512s would the clipping come much later ?
My deck says it puts otu 2 volts (pioneer avic n2.. I have amp level around 1.6-1.8 SAme thing.. Its really getting to me..
COuld it be possable that the amps not getting enough volts from battery??
