THANK YOU!

Hey Vireland I never got any clarification on my question about why the music itself doesn't really clip (at 46+ it does), but at 33+ the fx clip horribly. Same answer---amp can't drive speakers?
The audio mix itself seems off. Speech attenuation does not resolve fx clipping. I've taken speech completely out and fx still clipping.
Just wondering yer thoughts on this.

Andre you already got this jamming?
How does it sound man? Clipping lessened at high volume?
Shazam yer fast!
Edit: reread yer post about going line out to external speakers. C'mon man switch it up to bb for us homie! Inquiring minds wanna know!

Quoted from andre060:

at high volume *only* .

Wait...there's another way?

Even if they fix the audio mix, I still prefer to have these speakers driven by an actual amp, not a power supply board. The Stern "amp" can't handle these speakers. It will only make it sound better. And most importantly, louder AND better.

I have mine on 8ohm and at 38 volume no clipping....FUCKIN A.
My other settings:
Music attenuation: -50
Speech attenuation: 5
Bass: 90
Treble: 80
Gonna keep going up on volume and find the breaking point. Still interested in installing external amp.

Quoted from Strummy:

Changed them out. Much better. Hope the new code helps too. I still have the external sub hooked up as well
