well today i fine tuned the amp so the clipping meter hit right below the red, however it doesnt seem that loud when sitting in the car it is enough to rock the mirrors and outside the car you can here bass and inside house you can here somewhat but it isnt much thump to it, if i run it in the red clipping a little bit will it hurt the subs?

it will hurt the amp and the subs over time. You have reached the maximum output of that setup. Upgrade, or increase power if you are under powering.

Bass should not be heard outside of the vehicle. Stand next to either of my cars and you won't hear any bass, unless a window is open. Properly sound deaden your vehicle and it may get louder. The louder it is outside, the quiter it is inside.

Also, which way do you have the subs facing?
