[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 7451199, member: 603800"] I don't think it necessarily matters for loudness. Essentially, it boosts the bass and treble when listening to music at lower volumes. At higher volumes, it [I]should[/I] have no effect. The effect it has at higher volumes will depend on the quality of your HU and the way you've set your gains. Your Pioneer, I believe, has a maximum volume of 62, like most Pioneers. Good Pioneer HUs will maintain an unclipped signal at the preouts up to 60. The last two notches give you a little extra punch, but that punch is clipped. I'd imagine if you had the gain set properly with the HU maxing at 60, you should have little to no effect from the loudness feature at that volume. If you set the gain on your amplifiers at a lower volume on the HU, the loudness will have more of an effect on the sound quality. Generally, most people don't recommend using the loudness feature. I don't use it on my 800PRS. I've played around with it, but I keep it off. [/QUOTE]
