DC Audio amp clipping


YukonDCXL

Recommended Posts

Just installed my dc 3.5k's strapped them and tuned with track 5 with my dd-1. I set gains with bass knob all the way up so I can never go into distortion but before I even turn the knob half way up the clipping light on bass knob starts blinking, why is this?

Does the DD1 show distortion with the bass knob all the way up? I hear the bass knob clip light is not the most accurate thing. Some people say set with DD1 and ignore the clip light on bass knob.

I ignore the clip light on my AQ. Haven't had any problems.

I'll admit, half way through sanding that fiberglass in the rain and cold while I was all itchy I was definitely starting to question why i was doing this haha

No, I purposely had bass knob all the way up when I set the gains because I hate it when I set my last one with knob in the middle because then you gotta freakin look at the thing to make sure you did not turn it up too far

If DD1 doesnt show distortion then I think you're fine. I'm no expert but from what I have read on these forums it seems like a good answer.

If you notice anything by ear at full tilt I would just back it off a little.
