[QUOTE="Grinder1989, post: 5811005, member: 573303"] No. I'm saying your logic is wrong. I was not talking about any amp in particular, just in general. The easiest way to look at gain is that it controls how fast your speakers get loud. You can turn the gain all the way up on your amp and just keep the volume low on the headunit.....That's the easiest way to get max power out of your amp but you lose the benefit of high input voltage. Its harder to set the gain with your headunit all the way up (or 3/4 of the way up) because without an O scope, its hard to tell if you're clipping or not. That's how people ruin their equipment. As far as gain goes with this situation, it's irrelevant. OP has a low voltage problem because of a bad ground (more than likely) [/QUOTE]
