[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8765358, member: 614752"] Once your clipping light comes on you are definitely at or near the maximum output of your amp but a good design would build in a little wiggle room (say 10-15%). For practical purposes though you're not audibly gaining for such little power so if that light is flickering most of the time during a hard music track you're as loud as you're going to get without changing something else. Sure, it takes power to make power, your electrical should be right etc. but still even say you get another 10-20% more out of your amp from getting your electrical really solid you won't hear the difference unless you have a serious problem right now.
