[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4672873, member: 592162"] While a somewhat valid point, I believe this varies by amp/preamp signal alot. My old Visonik amp used to do exactly what you just described, which, yes, is a good indication that it is starting to clip. This amp however, as described, I can only set it to ~55-60 volts before I can clearly hear clipping, but I can keep turning the gain and get it all the way up to 80-90 volts (clipping the living **** out of the sub). Eitherway...my statement was nowhere near a 'retard of the month' comment... Idk if thats a universal definition of it but it DEFINITELY is affecting my volume on both my CD and AUX. The manual for the HU also says that it simply adjusts the input level, basically the same way a gain knob on an amp does, in order to allow you to make up for things like cd's recorded at lower levels etc. Plus its clearly giving my preouts more voltage, considering my amp voltage goes from ~55 to ~70 volts when I turn it up [/QUOTE]
