[QUOTE="req, post: 911731, member: 555713"] what im saying is, pretend we are playing guitar on a nice lil amp. you turn the amp way up, but turn the volume down on the guitar... now we are using the 'volume knob' on the amp. this creates a nasty, distorted sound (from my expierences). similar to cranking the gain and listning to moderate volume. if you crank the volume on the guitar, and then turn the 'volume' up on the amplifier a little, its crystal clear and nice and loud. im not saying you shouldnt set it improperly in a car - im just saying that putting the amp to max gain, and using the headunit to controll it is the complete WRONG way to do it. yes, gain on the amp should be level matched to the output of the voltage from the headunit across the RCA's. period. but you should never ever ever have your gain higher than your headunit - for this application\hardware. thats all i was saying.
