[QUOTE="digitalpchtx, post: 554053, member: 556959"] Ok. Here's my big I'm confused post. I'm trying to set the gains on my amp properly so I don't fry my system but I'm not sure how to go about it given the current setup: I bought a cheap receiver (Kenwood KDC-205) because they get stolen a lot where I am, but it only had one 2.5v preamp output. I was told by some of local pro shops that running speaker level inputs would create more distortion. My amp has three sets of rca inputs (front, rear, and sub). I have my one rca input output from the receiver three ways into three rca inputs on the amp. I was told that this might lower the given voltage level and that I might have to get a in line gain control amplifier like a PAC Turbo 1. There are three gain controls on my amplifier (front, rear, and sub) with settings of .25 to 2.5v. My stereo has a maximum volume level of 35. If any more information is needed let me know, but I think this is enough, Thanks, thanks, thanks a million in advance if someone has the waxing elegance and expertise to take on this question, - Digi (Green Newb Here - Take It Easy On Me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] My system is kind frankensteined, so try not to wet yourself: Kenwood KDC-205 Receiver Kenwood 6889ie (Fronts) With Audiobahn AT69 Tweeters (Paralleled - Fronts) Kewood 6969ie (Rears) Clarion APX600.5 600 Watt 5-Channel Amp (45x4 + 120x1 @4) (75x4 + 190x1 @2) Kicker 03C84 Free-Air 8" In Rear Deck (Sub Slot) [/QUOTE]
