[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 6020164, member: 555320"] The very purpose of the gain control is to allow you to achieve full output with different input voltages. The fact that it was "high" is not necessary a bad thing, as long as it's properly set for the input voltage it's receiving. Having a higher voltage preamp output isn't going to give your amp more output, and having the gain down lower because of a higher input voltage does not mean you are at less risk of clipping your amplifier. [I]If[/I] your subs were indeed damaged from clipping, the problem was that the gain was set improperly regardless of where "properly" happens to fall within the range of the gain control. You can just as easily set the gain incorrectly with a higher voltage input signal as you can with a lower input voltage signal. And before you criticize people for not understanding your question, perhaps you should take some time to properly analyze and understand your problem. We understand your question; You don't understand your problem. [/QUOTE]
