Or maybe this amp was a low end one, but either way, the gain control goes from .5 - 1v, and the RCA&#039;s I have running to it are 2v. So at around 60% volume my speakers clip BAD. Sounds real dirty n shiz.The Fix: Here&#039;s where I need your help! Can I use a cheap PAC or Axxess brand RCA line level &quot;bass/gain knob&quot; to lower my 2v to 1v? Could I simply use resistors? What do ya think?Thank you! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gifP.S.
