Can my 2 Fi 18 drivers handle it?


My amp's dial knob is at 28db of max 32db. Then my Yamaha master volume is at -12.5 db. At this level, I see the clip led turn on. Can my Fi 18" IB driver handle the LFE if I put my Yamaha master volume to -5db? or 0db? My Yamaha's max master volume setting is +16.

I remember, the 0 db is my reference level using Avia at 85db and using Radio Shack SPL. I know that at 0db, it will be very loud. But I still would like to know if it can handle it. And I guess if I do -5db or 0db, I should set CLIP FILTER to OFF so there is no clipping anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
