[QUOTE="keith89, post: 3701906, member: 583123"] Hey guys. Great info here. I'm a bit of a noob and have read on other "less technical" audio forums that I should never go past 1 or 2 o clock on the amp gains. I have an alpine 4.100 amp and am setting for 20VAC per channel. I have a Pioneer AVIC-n3 source with volume set to 45 out of 62 for max. The amp has normal voltage set at the 12 o clock position and i do not reach the 20VAC. Since the headunit isn't clipping at 45/62, is it ok to increase the gains until i reach the 20VAC, even if it is close to the max gain setting? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
