[QUOTE="KyleBechtold, post: 6950964, member: 604516"] You are wrong my friend.. Why do you think you set the "GAIN"(volume) on the h.u to your likings when tuning the amp. the h.u basically has a gain and it sends output to the amp.. the amp has a gain and it sends output to the speakers.. thats why if you turn the volume up the voltage out from the h.u goes up.. same for the gain on the amp.. so you are telling me that if for example I set my h.u volume to 56 of 62 and use an OSCOPE to set the amp properly and then permanently leave the h.u alone and turn use a GAIN knob and turn it up and down versus the h.u that my music won't go up and down? Just because it might not have a 1-62 numbered scale doesn't mean its not a volume knob.. its all in how you use it. Sure most people don't use it that way. and you saying amps clip at a certain point is also relevant to h/u's some start to send clipped signals to amps when you get close to their max volume.. the main reason the gain on the amps is not used as often as the h.u is the h.u combines all the outputs and makes one turn of the knob make all the volume go down and also most people don't have gain knobs minus for there sub amps [/QUOTE]
