[QUOTE="maylar, post: 254215, member: 541144"] An amplifier is a voltage source: Vout = Vin X Av, where Av is a term called Voltage Gain. The more input you give an amp, the more output it produces... up to the point where it can't put out any more without clipping. The purpose of a gain (sensitivity [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] ) control is to allow the amp to reach full undistorted output with the amount of input being provided by the HU. If you have 2 volts in, you need more gain than with 5 volts in. As long as 2 volts is within the adjustment range of the sens control, having 5 volts doesn't get you more output. [/QUOTE]
