[QUOTE="dcsoundguy, post: 911, member: 540818"] amplifier gain setting I believe is one of th most overlookd aspects of system performance and needs to be dealt with in a less hasty manner than most give it. My 2cents worth sez ther is a narrow range over which your head unit/x-over will optimally match up with your amp-to find it, i suggest to first get a good recording that has deep bass and extended highs-if u listen closely, u'll notice as u increase amp gain there is a point ur deep bass will start to drop off and become too mid-bassy/grainy; midrange takes over, distortion picks up. Back off till u get a good balance. This characteristic holds true for most stages of amplifier gain and is important to know! [/QUOTE]
