[QUOTE="headless, post: 5811106, member: 566363"] Or, as you said, he could be clipping out his HU which is causing the amp to go into protect - likely, even, since the deck is at 100% output and i've not seen many decks that don't clip at 0db output. Even nice eclipse's will clip out ~10% under max volume. Setting your HU to max volume for setting gains kinda defies the purpose of setting gains at all, unless your HU NEVER clips at 100% volume. I suspect his panasonic isn't going to be that way. I don't think it's a bad ground at all; i think it's just clipping and the amp is trying to save itself. I suspect re-setting gain w/ the HU at a reasonable volume will help - but of course, i could be wrong *shrugs*. So could any of us [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] we're getting barebones information from an internet post and we're all guessing.
