[QUOTE="SPLThunder, post: 284611, member: 545125"] Ok my deck puts out 8V. My amp only goes down to 6volts. However when i turn my gains all the way down i dont get any bass and according to you i should be getting severe distortion. When i turn it up to where i want it (around 4V) i am getting no audible distortion whatsoever. If i had an O-scope i would set my gains exact. The THD of a HU is all the resitors, transistors, capacitors, chipsets....components of a HU. Each device adds its own distortion.
