[QUOTE="2023 LTZ, post: 8836385, member: 686684"] One observation is that I believe is MHJ meant the gain is not a volume knob. To basically set the gain you’d start your vehicle you’d turn your gain all the way down then turn your hu volume to a point just under what you believe to be distortion then slowly turn amp gain up til it distorts then go back down. Remember not all music is the same so you’ll want to go a little lower on the gain to account for that. Often it’s 1/2 or below considering many factors. Balance is a thing too. Wouldn’t want the bass overpowering the highs. Conservative settings make gear last longer. [/QUOTE]
