[QUOTE="Mooncatt, post: 8675898, member: 676968"] Distortion via clipping is when you try to make an amp play beyond its limits. Instead of a smooth in and out motion, the speaker cone is held at a given position. This can kill a speaker quickly, and is usually heard as an unclear sound. A tweeter can sound harsh, sometimes like a clashing of sounds. Mids and lows can sound almost blubbery, or to be blunt, like flatulence. Because music plays multiple frequencies at once, over driving the radio's built in amp would make all the notes distort, not just the highs. Playing at 20 out of 35 shouldn't over drive the radio unless something extreme is going on with other settings and the recorded audio. The EQ settings don't look like they would cause this either.
