[QUOTE="audionutt, post: 390334, member: 553131"] READ AND LEARN Your line level adjustment is not a GAIN control. It is NOT used to increase and decrease output. There are specific methods for setting this control. If you simply crank it all the way up or down, you are destined to blow your speakers by sending them garbage to reproduce. RTFM and set it correctly. You will thank me in the long run. I cannot count the number of blown speakers I have removed because of the falicy that this controls output. "But, it is a 40 watt amp and the speakers are rated for 115w. How could these things blow. THey aare garbage." 99/100 times the line level adjustment is maxed. "Why did you set this to max?" "Because I wanted it louder." Rules to live by: A set of speakers rated for 100W will last LONGER if you run 150W of CLEAN power than they will at 20W of distortion. IF it is not loud enough, add more CLEAN power. Don't compensate using input sensitivity control. Basically to set this use this method and it will get you real close: Running only one set of speakers, set EQ, Bass/Trebble and all controls FLAT. Start with it on its LOWEST setting. Turn your HU volume control to 3/4 volume. (that is about the most any decent HU will go before distortion.) Turn the INPUT SENSITIVITY up slowly until you bearly notice distortion. Then, back it off slightly. THEN LEAVE IT ALONE. Repeat this for all speaker sets. (F/R/Sub) [/QUOTE]
