The gain is set wrong. Thats why you are distorting so fast. Thats a clean deck so you should be able to run it all the way up
Could you clarify? What would be right?The gain is set wrong. Thats why you are distorting so fast. Thats a clean deck so you should be able to run it all the way up
Gain is meant to match the pre out of your head unit. Head unit raises preout as the volume goes up. Full volume should be full preout voltage. So you should match your amps gain to that. Gain is not a 'power knob'. Full gain does not mean full power, full power with 4v preouts could be as low as 1/4 turn. I think you have yours up to high and the amp is maxing out to early. The amp is overdriven causing distortionCould you clarify? What would be right?And I originally got this amp because I was distorting around half volume. I'm not asking much of it
Sounds like a gimmickHmm... Reading about the Infinitys, and they have this "True 4 Ohm Technology" deal, which kind of blows away the notion of 2 ohms. But it was mentioned that it wouldn't really make much of a difference, right?
Also, I can get a pair of 9632cf References for $60 right now, vs the 692.9i Kappas for $100 - is it worth the extra $40 for the Kappas...?
Or would it be better to get a pair of JBL GTO938s? (The 2-way GTO928s have strangely worse reviews)
Opinions appreciated
Thanks again fam
It can be 4 ohms when measured at the head unit through the stock speaker wires, or at least that's their findings and the reason for calling it True 4 Ohms.Sure does. But gimmick or no gimmick, they claim a 4 Ohm final impedance
I haven't heard them but they're both good options at the same price. The JBLs should sound louder, especially with your amplifier running at 2 ohms.Any opinions on the JBLs?Or maybe Polk DB691s?
