i dont understand why the gain on the amp is a little less than half and its not that loud and when it gets loud it clips

I am running an AQ-1200D @ .7 ohms to a 15 BL and my friend installed it yesterday and set the gain on the amp a little less than half way and when i turn the bass knob about 3/4 up and turn the volume up to like 25 out of 35 the clipping indicator on the bass knob illuminates on and off with the bass hits on some notes. its aggravating the shit out of me because I just spent alot of money and I dont want my shit to fuck up. He told me the amp could be too small for the sub or the HU is sending out bad waves to the amp. It sounds amazing, dont get me wrong. I just wanted some advice on how to get the clipping to stop. I have a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X792 head unit and it has 4 volt pre amp voltage. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank You

is the AQ-1200 too small for a 15 BL?

i have the sub level on the HU set to +9 bc ma friend that installed it said if u have that up then it draws less power and the bass on the HU is +3 but it seems like if I turn the sub level to 0 and the bass down on the HU it wont be loud at all bc its not as loud now as I thought it would be. do i have to let it break in or should I turn the gain on the amp up and put everything down on the HU?

i am running a 120 amp alt. with upgraded 4 gauge from the alt. to the battery. I have a 1.2 farad cap with no second battery

i dont have one of those, and really unfamiliar of what it does but i am going to go around locally and look. My HU settings for what like bass sub level and all of that?

I ordered a 15'' BL dual 2 ohm. I have upgraded 4 gauge from the alt. to my duralast gold battery and i have a 120 amp alt. I also ordered an AQ-1200D. My boy is doing all the installation but he told me to get the dual 2 and wire it at .7 ohms. Will my voltage drop too low?

what should i tune it to to hit lows and highs good?

thanks bra but i messed it up. i dont know much i always thought it was impedance but trust me he knows what he is doing. thanks for the advice bro
