[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1241497, member: 555320"] The question no one has asked yet; What headunit are you using? If it's a low voltage output headunit, then it is not unlikely that, when using music, the gains are set close the maximum. If you, for example, have a 2V output headunit and are using music to set the gain.....you're probably only getting [I]a maximum[/I] of around .5V RMS out of the headunit since most music is recorded around -6db (which means output voltage is reduced by a factor of 4 compared to 0db). And since most amps maximum gain setting (minimum input) is around .2V, you can see why it would be set so close to maximum. Either that, or your deaf and don't know what distortion sounds like [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG][IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
