he prolly wasnt clipping the amp.

the amp was set on LP at 75hz. that means that the speakers were getting a signal w/ low freqency any they were over excurting. (is that even a word?)

when they set the amp to 100hz HP, that cut out the low frequency signal.

its probably the way you have your amp setup.

your amp has high and low for input. low is for up to 2v from your hu and high is for up to 8v from your hu. so if you have that amp set at low and your hu produces more than 2v, you should switch it to high and see what happens.
