it won't matter mp3 or regular cd.

i say do it all by ear. turn the comp amp down a touch til it gets where you want it.

i like where they're both at, its just a matter of finding out why the highs cut out on some songs at high volumes. is there an exact way to find out with a cheap dmm if that is indeed the case? i dont wanna pull apart the door panels unless absolutely necessary

maybe the voltage of the HU is too high for the amps inputs. which throws the amp into protect

oh and as im staring at the f240 when the highs cut out it has no change in light, as in its powered on light stays blue as usual, no other lights are visible

NO. I have that amp and its wonderful. I use the deh-p7700 with same pre amp output voltage.

right, i understand. i didnt mean to act like a dick, i was just saying i am running pioneer h/u with the same amp and that is not the problem.

does said amp have a protect light?

i dont see any other light besides the power-on blue light. im using TMA rca's for the sub amp, and Scocshe or whatever that crap is for the highs amp, which worked fine on the sub amp i had for the past year until it got stolen. i have a spare set of jl audio rca's if you think thats worth a try.

try it. scosche is cheapo anyways, and if someone stole the amp they were hooked to, they easily could be damaged.

alright soo after setting the gains to 50 max volume out of 62, i just burned a new mp3cd and skipped around a few heavy hitting songs at 45 volume and it sounded real real good, and the highs didnt cut off. so im crossing my fingers now. i wanna figure this out though, maybe it had something to do with the older cds i used? who knows. lets just hope this keeps up. thanks guys, and ill report back if i run into problems
