[QUOTE="GrnEydDvl, post: 2122288, member: 568270"] All stereo systems have some noise. By cranking your gains you are amplifying your noise floor to an audbile level. Solutions are to either : A. Lower the noise floor by trouble shooting where the noise is coming from and/or choosing less noisy components. or B. Boost the pre-amp line voltage by getting a head unit with higher voltage outputs or getting a line driver. This way you won't have to turn the gains as high to reach clipping at -10db of ABH but your music will be just as loud as before (minus the noise). [/QUOTE]
