[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8691507, member: 562180"] It does a little bit and here's why. Lets say I have a HU that has 5 volt RCA pre outs. I gotta amp that I wanna run. I set my gain correctly with a DMM and a 40 Hz tone, in this example just a sub amp. I don't have to turn the gain up as much vs. a 2 volt HU because thanks to the increased voltage pre outs. In his case, I looked up his HU [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_158WX920BT/Sony-WX-920BT.html?awcr=76553539316796&awdv=c&awkw=sony+wx920bt&awmt=e&awnw=o&awat=&awug=110829&msclkid=74723dcf274219def9e363edcf89ab8b[/URL] and no wonder he has the gain 1/2 way, that HU has 2 volt pre outs. Pretty weak but just means he has to turn the gain up a tad more than usual. Big deal? No. Gonna affect anything? Nah not at all. Just have to watch out for any audiable noise that comes into play if any. Logn time ago HU had believe it or not 8 volt pre outs. OP, if I was you, reset your gain using a DMM (Digital Multimeter) they can be had for around 5-10 bucks fairly cheap. Umm...just looked up your subs' rms output, watts, and 600 is what they are.
