[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8299420, member: 560148"] I've already tried to explain they issues with assuming clipping is a "car audio sin" (it's not) due to many various factors. Inaudibility of minor clipping, lack of thermal stress in many cases if it's managed well and actually getting some real ouptut from your amplifier, he doesn't listen.. Turn the hu to 3/4 turn gains up until you get "good" output from the quieterest speaker you own on most of the music you listen to recorded at normal volume. Turn everythign else up until it blends with that speaker. Gains are an acoustic level matching device they are not built to match input voltage to output voltage blindly ( I guess deafly would be more appropriate here). I mean if your way overpowering speakers you COULD use a device, but even then you can usually hear when things are being stressed. IF your getting noise in your system from bad gain setup, you either REALLY messed up your gain setting or had excessive noise to begin with that needs to be adressed. [/QUOTE]
