[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8804293, member: 674149"] No it isn't. The GAIN is the amp GAINING voltage to improve the signal. The gain is taking the head unit's, output signal VOLTAGE and GAINING, VOLTAGE. Setting the gain properly is maximizing the voltage signal to the amp's ability, (in conjunction with the head unit). When you set the gain too high, you are pushing too much voltage into the wave and distorting the wave, that is clipping. If you set it to low, then you are creating a weaker signal. It doesn't act like a power knob as in wattage. It is only sending out a weaker signal ( "a lazy/weak wave"). It then takes more power/volume/wattage to get to the same decibel. Setting the gain too low, is like trying to yell while talking in a whisper. It's not going to change the wattage at all, it's only going to change the signal. Setting the gain properly is your best singing voice. Setting the gain too high is like screaming and your voice breaks/cracks, (even if its at a low volume). [/QUOTE]
