[QUOTE="microhaxo, post: 5386953, member: 570733"] Ok so, i have had threads on here about how it is really hard to get even 250w rms out of my amp with a FULL GAIN. Well i think i might know why... I have a Sony CDX-GT200 deck and i suspect that this is the culprit, out of curiosity i decided to see what the preamp voltage is on this deck, online i get NA for preamp voltage, so i go and test the voltage with my dmm and i see that im getting LESS THAN 1 volt of pre out at 50hz im getting less than HALF a volt of pre out per channel.. 50hz tone at playing volume = 0.15 volts how horrible is that... So my question is: If i had a deck that did 4 solid volts pre out or even 2 volts would it make it so i wouldn't have to turn my gain so high on the amp to get to 500w? Would it make a big difference in the quality and sound of my sub? [/QUOTE]
