Posted January 25, 200916 yr So yeah, I recently found out that the song is clipped right off of the C.D. It really disappoints me because I really like listening to the song, is there anything I can do when I play my sub after its installed, to not hurt it? I don't want to mess with the gain after its set, so would turning down the tilt work?
January 25, 200916 yr Author Idk, all I know is that if you look at it on audacity it has a clearly clipped signal on some of the bass notes.
January 25, 200916 yr A clipped signal won't inherently damage your subs. As long as the sub is getting the same power as an unclipped signal, it doesn't matter. So the only difference is that maybe you only need to turn the head unit volume to 28 instead of 30 to get full volume. But there's also the degraded sound quality. But that doesn't hurt subs either, it just sounds worse.
January 28, 200916 yr Author alright so basicallly, just play it smart and turn it down a little bit more than usual?
