[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 1478802, member: 562649"] If you look at the gain knob on your amp (which is really a sensitivity adjustment) you will notice that less gain = higher number and more gain = lower number. Lets say for example that your amps input sensitivity is 200mv - 8v and you head unit is 4v. Then you would need to the knob from 8v clock wise towards 200mv until they match. Just because your amp has a lower input sensitivity than another doesn't make it better. The Arc XXK line, for example, have imput senitivites of around 2.8v max. The Zapco competition line have input sentivities up to 16v (although the C2K amps do accept balanced imputs - which is another issue). Both are awesome amps!! [/QUOTE]
