Amps usually clip when the gain is turned up too high. How high is the gain turned up on your amp? Keep in mind, the gain is not a volume knob, it is to be set and forgot about.

acually right now i have it hooked up on my dvd player cause it has a slot for a subwoofer....on the dvd player the bass is all the way up and treble all the way down and the sub is all the way up

What is the gain on the amplifier set at? The gain has nothing to do w/ the dvd player, it is a setting on the amp. I would turn that down a little bit and see if that helps at all.

is this dvd player in your car or in your home? because you could have an ohm problem with that.
