[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8845572, member: 674149"] [B]You need to set the gain on your amplifier for your new head unit. [/B] As said, your old head unit had 5v preouts, (it was sending a 5v signal through your RCAs). Now your new one is sending out 2v. Not sure if that's how it works out, but you might be only getting 40% of the power you were getting before. You won't get as clean a signal, but you might not even notice after you get your power back. No need to sell your new head unit just yet, you need to go set the gain[B] [/B]again on your amp.
