[QUOTE="murph, post: 8177440, member: 636087"] First just because your head unit goes to 35 doesn't mean you should ever play to 35. You saying that it's go up to 20 sounds about right. I'd assume your head unit begins distortion somewhere from 20-24 maybe 25. Factory head units are made to make the best (at least that's what they think) of your system. A factory head unit may be able to get louder (may) but, it will have a better bass response and in some cases heavier mid bass. All of that though to an audiophile would sound awful though because they over amplify those ranges and they end up sounding sloppy (or even artificial) to the above average listener. Your new unit should have very little bass response, a tighter and more pronounced mid bass response. The sound should also be more crisp and depending on the factory head unit, it should be significantly louder. [/QUOTE]
