[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6542707, member: 591579"] Kind of. If I run 17 watts to 100 watt speakers there is probably no distortion if I keep the volume on say, 5 and live with it. But that's not loud enough, so I turn the volume to the maximum clear output for the head unit, say 25. Still not enough, so I'm gonna turn the head unit up past the point where it's putting out a clear signal, say all the way to 35, to get the loudness I want. IIt's as loud as I want it to be now, but not the good kind of loudness. It was my use of the controls, not the lack of power, that caused the distortion which my head unit sends to my amplifier, which my amplifier... well, amplifies before sending to the speakers.
