PLEASE tell me hes wrong

unit B = the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
Same exact thing.

You kinda just proved my point... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Unit B could be used as the level control, and unit A could be solely used as a source... but you can just as easily turn that around... which is exactly what you can do with any amp.

Nope........You said "HEAD UNIT". an amplifier is not a head unit or a source unit. And Head "A"t in this situation would no longer be the source unit if plugged into head unit B.

Mark, you have ruined yet another thread.

That's what I was thinking. He knows **** well what the real point is, yet he is unable to admit a simple fact. Jim stated it very well.

I use the example of 2 head units because, head unit B is being used as an amplifier... which is perfectly feasable. You can substitute an amp for the head unit in this situation and its doing the same thing. You can just as well control the level with the *volume control* on head unit A or head unit B... just because you replaced head unit B with an amp and now the amp says "gain" doesn't make it any less of a volume control.

If it looks like a volume control, works like a volume control, and most importantly, controls the volume... its gotta be either an italian beef sandwich or a volume control.

Well i read the whole thing.

But if the amps " volume knob" is set at its higest setting( high voltage) and my h/u it set at 60/80 i still hear music

BUT !!!

When i have the h/u's volume set at zero and the amp's " volume knob" set at its lowest setting( low voltage) i hear nothing.

Maybe because the amp isnt producing a signal, there fore, has no volume.

No signal= no volume

Turn the volume up on the h/u, and you get music out of it.

The gain is a mere regulator, it regulates how much AC voltage it produces when given a signal.

They have regulators for good reasons, so things dont blow up.

Turn the source volume up, turn the amps " regulator" down and you wont have a problem.

Shure you can turn down the source and turn up the regulator but thats doing things *** backwards.

Its just safer

And if you like to walk on the wild side, you do that....

The true source is the cd/radio/ whatever. The easiest way to think of it is in HT terms.. where everything is seperate.

I've already gone over it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

You both are idiots.There, debate solved.

I can say, without a doubt, the orion 2500d and kicker zx2500 can see 100% gain and sound the same as they do at 1% gain...

No they cant, guesss you dont own an O-Scope or do not know how to use one. And you hearing must be shot if you cant hear the difference (distortion) @ full gain and 75% volume on the head unit and with the gain all the way down at the same headunit volume.

no really, there is no difference.

I can do a 149.0 with full gain

turn the volume up more, turn the gain down, 149.0... believe me I've been there.

the gain is a potentiometer

to level match with other amps/HU

Wo, dude, you are like page 3

Pardon me for not building fart monsters. But I actually like to listen too music. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
