[QUOTE="jluv, post: 5248183, member: 567917"] There is nothing wrong with turning your gain up higher if that's what's needed and you are doing it correctly to match the input/output level (not as a voume knob). On the flip side of your scenario, the higher voltage can actually pose a problem for some older amps. For example, when using my PPI Audio Art amps with a 4v out from the processor, I had to crank the gain all the way down, and still the final output voltage from the amps was a tad bit higher than it needed to be. It worked fine, but that could have been an even bigger problem with some of those head units out there that boast an 8v output. Is it better to start with 4v out from the head unit vs a 2v out? Sure, a little better. But it's not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I certainly would never base my decision off of that when comparing head units to purchase. Just my $.02. [/QUOTE]
