[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1742164, member: 550915"] If you were to talk to the tech that designed the amp, he would tell you exactly that. He would also tell you what the maximum input voltage would be to allow you to use the full range of the gain dial as a volume control without clipping the amp. If you really understood this stuff rather than just regurgitate the absolute basics that are taught at the installer schools, you would know that. The schools teach you the very basics of doing a correct install. If you want to do more than that you are actually going to have to learn on your own. BTW, I'm from the old school, too. The equipment from the old school is not the same as the stuff today. There are new things out there that aren't going to be covered in a basic install course. Older doesn't necessarily mean smarter. All too often poeple get stuck in the old ways. Look at engine tech. I ride Harley's, and the sheer number of old guys that have been around them forever and swear by carburators is astounding. The fact is that a modern EFI system will produce more power more consistently with less fuel consumption and fewer noxious emmissions than a carb could hope to. But you will never convince the old guys of that. [/QUOTE]
