[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 1049443, member: 559710"] if you switch out the head units without touching the gain settings, the amplifier still sensitive to 2 volts, it will reach clipping faster because of the increased signal. So basically, it will seem louder, but it will put out maximum power at a lesser volume level. And yes, you can set a 400 watt amplifier to do 300 watts by turning the gains down. [/QUOTE]
