[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7876570, member: 573547"] use every opportunity you can afford to lower the amplifier gain(s). Their purpose is to accommodate the various input levels. One of the best ways is to buy the features you need in a HU and purchase a decent, transparent adjustable line driver such as in a 1/2 din EQ/line driver to boost the signal level up to the desired input level at the amp(s) (like 6-9volts) The goal is to drive the amp with enough clean input voltage that minimal gaining is necessary for it to produce clean rated output, thus allowing more headroom and keeping unwanted noise out of the system. example: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p-3198-mpq-5xo-soundstream-parametric-eq-w-crossover-and-sub-volume.aspx"]http://www.woofersetc.com/p-3198-mpq-5xo-soundstream-parametric-eq-w-crossover-and-sub-volume.aspx[/URL] [/QUOTE]
