[QUOTE="kingsxman, post: 1440375, member: 563735"] I run NO deck power and I have a Pioneer DEH7400MP as my HU. I believe the volume goes to a level of about "65". I Lets say that I've set my gains with my HU volume at 45 (about 3/4 of full). I understand that the reason to set volume at 3/4 is because most decks will start to put out distortion at 75% total volume. My question is...I have a few cd's that are recorded pretty low. Normally I'm running my volume for most cd's around 38-46. My AC/DC Back in Black for example (factory cd) is normally run with HU volume on about 51 to 53. Theoretically....shouldnt I be getting distortion at that point from HU? I dont hear it howerver.... I guess my question is...how do you know if distortion is coming from amp or Head Unit? [/QUOTE]
