[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7764202, member: 576029"] not true if the high or low is setting input sensitivity range, i've seen amps that have two input ranges (low for RCA output and high for speaker level output ). my xtant amps have 5 different input sensitivity ranges separate from output gain adjustment. allows for .2-18V input range. you choose an input sensitivity that is matched to the expected signal output range from the source. his high or low seems to be in the HU not the amp. if he wants more output from his speakers, then he chooses high. if he had an amp for his speakers, he could set it to low and increase amp gains. he may have less noise with more HU output and lower amp gains. in gain structure, we take gain as soon as we can get it. i disagree. EQ should be set at listening preference. then adjust gain. his keeping bass low is protecting the speakers and giving him a higher listening volume. he then uses the sub to compensate. this is avoided with a HPF on the speakers, but that isn't always and option. EQ's are meant to be used. so using them is just fine. since the use of the EQ changes the signal level into the amp, it needs to be accounted for (especially any EQ boost). [/QUOTE]
