Why Kinergetics SW-200 clipping?

I'm a newbie and have a simple question about clipping.

I have a Kinergetics SW-200 sub (four 10" speakers, 200W kinergetics amp). They seem to clip really easily. These have always been rated as a high-end sub, but they don't do it for me. I want to "feel" the bass in my home theatre setup.

I'm in a fairly small room (15 x 15) which I know limits the level of bass producability. Does the small room also mean that the subs clip easier? Or am I pushing them too hard trying to get bass out of them that I can't get in such a small room?!

Any insight would be great.

Thanks.

Definatly plug it into the wall.
You might be able to get aay with plugging a dvd plyer or cd player in those outlets on the back of your reciever, but those subwoofers need alot of juice.

If the fuses are blwoing its telling you yer getting too much juice.

what is the ohm load on your subwooferS? are the amplifiers external to the subwoofer?

you might have a 4 or even a 2 ohm load on that subwoofer, if it is an outboard amplifier that isnt designed to handle that, you will basically be screaming a crap load more power through them they can handle, and might damage the amp as well
