[QUOTE="thch, post: 1241463, member: 562032"] volume on the HU is exponentially based. thus half volume will be much less then full volume in terms of output voltage. 3/4th will be a lot less then full as well. and yes, you can overdrive the inputs of an amp, not sure that 8V would really do that, more likely you'd just have clipping from too much gain. if you want to hear something ugly, overdrive certain Jfet input stages... it has this bizzar way of clipping in the wrong direction which basically means you have not just clipping, but modulation. i wouldn't worry about that though. just turn the hu down a couple clicks and you should be fine.
