[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1758727, member: 550915"] Chances are that the preouts on you headunit are clipping at full volume. That +1 on the treble might be the cause or the HU might just be like most in that it clips before full volume is reached on the volume control. Ideally you want to know at what volume setting the HU begins to clip. That is the volume that you should use to set your gains and should be considered the max volume of the HU. Turning it up higher is only dialing up distortion. Distortion manifests as lots of high frequency information. That extra garbage is what the protection circuits are keeping out of your tweeters.
