what do you mean by a clipping amp?? and to me it seems that whenever i have the bass booster on my head unit turned all the way up (+6) is when the amp got hot and when i kept it on 0 it was really cool. never completely verified this but i noticed it a couple times

oh on a side note moving the power wire from the power box to the battery i think stopped the headlight flashing but again i havent completely verified this either. it definitely reduced it. only driven at night once since i did that and it was raining. my park lights and interior dim whenever i put my windows up and down though.. :/
