[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7825780, member: 573547"] I'm with ya, bro....the amp has a [B]rated[/B] voltage range where it is designed to operate. If the electrical is good and the amp is not wired outside of it's recommended nominal loads, the amp should amplify the signal without clipping due to electrical. But just like we discovered when talking about power output with different amps, this is another area where [B]amp ratings can be deceiving[/B] too. As far as your buddy's amp gain being set "a little under Half"...this too means nothing. If your source (HU) only provides .5v max through the line inputs, then the gain may be turned almost all the way up...if the source voltage maxes out at 7 volts, then the gain may be almost all the way down...source voltage varies by head units and gain ranges varies by amps...not all are the same.
