[QUOTE="thch, post: 1947273, member: 562032"] either one. but ideally only the HU. any signal processor has limits. for instance, turing the bass boost and such up on the HU and cranking the volume will result is some type of clipped signal. same goes for the amp. if the hu is sufficiently low, you can turn the gain up all the way. but if you run speakers from the HU, you will end up with little sound from the speakers because the HU is turned down. this is very common on the streets "this amp is awesome, just listen to how loud it gets at only 10 of 30 on my HU!" of course increaseing the volume to 15/30 results in unbearable distortion...
