Hey Gary,

If a Crown K2 is on the verge of clipping then the problem sounds an awful lot like a placement issue. If its near clipping then the amplifier is being driven to its full output by a low frequency signal and your hybrid horn sub should be crackin' concrete! My guess would be that either the sub(s) or the measuring device is located in a deep acoustic null. Try moving the (smaller) ATC sub around to other locations particularly the room corners behind your main speakers and see what happens. Some rooms can be real tough to get abn even power response from. You have a lot of dough tied up in great gear. Hiring an acoustician to measure and assist in setup could be a real boon.

Happy Trails!
