[QUOTE="nateberrier, post: 6947909, member: 612014"] having more watts isnt necessarily going to make your speakers *** loads louder. and a gain isnt meant to be used like a volume knob. youre supposed to adjust it in conjunction with your preout voltage. too much gain makes it sound like piss, clips your output and could potentially damage your drivers. this isnt dads am radio. clean power at half the wattage you have is going to sound more impressive than what youre dealing with now. With that said I keep my gains off because i have high enough preout voltages. i use cheap kicker amps for my highs and have no noise. you should invest in a multimeter and work at setting your gains properly. also note that grounding your RCAs really can do wonders for eliminating distortion. be sure to ground them to the HU chassis and not the car though.
