[QUOTE="LosIsATool, post: 8142746, member: 632125"] 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 distortion [/QUOTE]
