[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 2705095, member: 573988"] this is how it is different: 1) the amplifier that is set to the higher gain is amplifying the input by a smaller amplification factor than the larger one is to produce the same output... this is where most of the signal distortion comes in... now amps specifically jl amps are designed to deal with this distortion... a 250/1 is designed to filter 250watts of power, a 1000/1 is designed to filter 1000 watts and thus filters 250watts far better than the 250/1 will... 2)in the waveform of the input there are allways frequencies that "peak" higher than your system was configured to handle... with the 250/1 this results in the output trying to increase more than the amp can handle causing "clipping"... on the contrary with the 1000/1 this would appear to be a slight increase in the gain which would be completely acceptable considering that your gain is only 25% to begin with 2 questions... does anyone dissagree? and why? if your not answering both don't answer at all and save everyones time [/QUOTE]
