Does Gain control watts out of a amp?

[Sierra08! 10+ year member]

I been having a Tantrum 1200.1, dont really want to get rid of, I rather just keep this, and want some shallow mount subs, question is does gain and measuring the AC voltage out of the speaker outputs control how much wattage comes out?

The gain controls the amount of frequency out of it....

Everyone has to be a smart azz, if you dont ask questions you do not learn, I bet you were dumb at some point in your life and didnt know the answer to a question and had to ask a dumb question!

smart thing to do when you want an answer to a stupid question is research it. If you are a dumbass, you would be lazy and ask someone else.

The answer is yes.

You can use the gain control to limit the amount of power the amp will output. By turning the gain "down" the amplifier will require a higher voltage input to output full power. If you supply less than this voltage input, then the power output of the amplifier will be limited.

perfect answer....so is that why it is better to have high voltage pre-out on your deck because then you can have the gain lower on the amp, thus cleaner and less noise??

Yes. A higher voltage signal between the HU and the amp is less likely to pick up noise.

He has 63 posts, you have over 7,000

Maybe you should do something useful and ****ing help him.

Its a simple question im sure you know. Joke around with your e-buddies if you plan on flooding the forums, not someone new looking for help.

Watch out for clipping though.... its been known to disrespect familys and **** daughters.

I was commenting on your lack of grammar skills, not the stupidity of the question

How is your response, which offers no help to him, less "forum flooding" than mine? Is it because you are playing hero and trying to defend him?

The way I see it I did help. I pointed him in the right direction to improve his grammar which will improve his life.

Oh now your and English teacher, this is a car audio fourm, huh guy, this is a forum, Im sure most people here do not take time to worry about grammar and or spelling, never heard of grammar improving anyones life!
