[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8704724, member: 679555"] There's a few things that don't make sense to me in this. So your factory speakers are only able to reach 20 before distortion and the range is 40? that's a bit strange, usually you get to at least 3/4 before that. Another thing is that with your line out converter choice, there's options on the side of it. Are you sure that's set up correctly? You should never have to max your gain on an amplifier, you're running huge risk of feedback loops if you do that. The signal should be stronger than it is. Are you sure you've adjusted the gain and plugged into the right set? There are more than one gain settings for multiple channels on there.

Ideally you'd get a new head unit and run RCAs from that, but since you're using stock the best option is an LOC that has bass differentials so your factory unit isn't robbing the amplifier of bass as the volume goes up.
