[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 6701347, member: 566575"] That's not good. Your HU has 4V rca output, and you're definitely reaching that if you're turning it up all the way. The issue here is that with your amp gain turned all the way up, you're setting the sensitivity of the amp so that it'll produce it's rated power with very little voltage from the HU...yet you're still turning the radio all the way up(and I'm pretty sure your HU is clipping at that level, there are very few HU's that don't clip). It should be the opposite, gains up, HU turned down. I have an Eclipse 8V deck and my gains are turned all the way down. And it seems like with that amp you wouldn't have any issues powering the stuff you have, so there really shouldn't be a need to overdrive the amp in the first place. Just so we're clear on this, you have the gains turned almost all the way in the clockwise direction, towards the .2V setting? [/QUOTE]
