[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 1049480, member: 559710"] depends on the pre-out voltage of your head unit, and the range your gain settings will do. If you have a 4v pre-out head unit, and the lowest sensitivity the amp will do is 4v, you wont be able to get less out of the amp. But remember, its pretty rare that an amp will push its full power at any given time, unless you like to listen to test tones during your drive to work. And you can also adjust a lot of settings from your head unit to make the amp put out less power. [/QUOTE]
