I just installed new polk audio speakers in my doors, and they start to clip when the volume is around 24, the maximum volume is around 35 or so. |

That's pretty normal... 75% of maximum volume is usually where most HUs start clipping... maybe you just never noticed it before if your old speakers weren't as detailed? |

Edit on that, they start clipping at 21 and the max is 35. I just switched from an Alpine TDM 7574 headunit w/ cd changer, which I know didnt clip the speakers AT ALL, to an Alpine CDM 7857. |
