Here's the scenario:Let's say I've got the same quality song (320 kbps) on both a CD and my phone. If I play it via the CD player in my head unit it's comfortably loud and doesn't push anything too hard at volume level 25. A lot of stuff I've read about setting gains and not taxing speakers/subs tie into volume level on the head unit, so it concerns me that to get to the same volume and bass level for the same song, but played from the phone via the aux input, I need to turn it up 10+ notches to get the same loudness of music and bass.I don't fully grasp how all this works yet, but if the head unit is 10+ notches higher, is that more taxing on the equipment, or is it roughly the same since it puts out the same "power"?</blockquote>
