Yes clipping is distortion. The easiest way to set the gain on an amplifier with no special tools required is to start with the amplifier all the way down. Then set your headunit to 3/4 volume and then slowly bring up the gain on the amplifier until is starts to clip. As far as what sub you need for that box we need to know more. What size is the box and what size is the port?

Thanks, I didn't forget !

I'm still getting quotes from different dealers, looks like it would be a 12" (?)

You're only 800 miles from me. Let me know before you buy. I might just sell you the stuff and ship it to you. I can match any price you find online.

well I figured out my problem its my head unit, I hooked up my ipod straight into the amp and it sounds AMAZING lol I can turn it up so loud without any distortion. The head unit is only 6 months old (came out of friends truck) and its a fairly high end pioneer premieer with all the adjustments you would ever need. even while playing cd's i can hear tons of feedback when I switch songs or at low volume. even at low volume I can hear alot of distortion even on local stations. any recomendations for a head unit around 200 or so? I want someting simple and easy to adjust.

What about getting the Pioneer repaired? The Premier stuff has a 2 year warranty and you said it was only 6 months old. If you do go new for around $200 I love the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X794 especially if you use your Ipod alot. I have one in my wife's xb.
