Question EXPERIENCED AUDIO PEOPLE! question about a clipping problem with audio..

so my buddy down the street has a 2ss silver maro. blah blah, whatever.

anyways, so he got a full system (all JL components). and two 12 in JL w3's and it sounds great... the thing is when he turns it up to a certain point depending on the song or whatnot it will clip out. like the song will be going and then suddenly all the speakers except the center onstar one will clip out for a second then the bass comes back then the speakers come back. all within seconds this happens.

i told him to take it back to the shop he had install and he did. they are telling him that it is because it is hooked to the stock headunit and it can only support so many watts and power. so at a certain peak the song will clip out because of the stock headunit....

anyone with experience with any advise i can give him? are they lying? how to avoid it clipping or why it clips out for a second?


(btw i told him to get registered and come on this site! muahaha)
