I have a Planet Audio 5 channel amplifier, here are the stats:
Anarchy Series 5-Channel Car Amplifier
RMS Power Rating:
210 watts x 4 channels + 420 watts x 1 channel
420 watts x 2 channels + 420 watts x 1 channel
Max power output:
300 watts x 4 channels + 600 watts x 1 channel
Pulse width modulated MOSFET power supply
Convenient remote subwoofer control
LED power (green) and protect (red) indicators
Variable Bass Boost 0 to +18 dB
Bridgeable Tri-mode operations
Chrome-plated connections enhance durability
Variable high and low pass crossovers
Illuminated logo
3-Way System Protection circuitry (thermal, overload, and speaker short protection)
Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for extreme heat dissipation
Low level high inputs
Nickel-plated contacts
Heavy-duty set-screw terminals
Input sensitivity:
Low level: 100mV-2V
High level: 2V-8V
Variable high-pass filter (50-500 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
Variable low-pass filter (45-90 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
Damping factor: >125
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 102 dB
Frequency response: 20-20,000 Hz
I have this hooked up to Pioneer TS-W309D4 subs, JBL p560c components, and rear fill.. problem is, its just too quiet: it should be much louder.. I find that when I switch the Input sensitivity to 100mV-2V its much louder. My head unit is a JVC Arsenal KDA535 with 2.5V preamp outputs, which is in the 2V-8V category, but SOOO close to the 100mV-2V category.
Can I switch the input sensitivity to 100mV-2V even though the preamp is 2.5V without hurting anything? It makes the difference of not feeling the music and feeling it.
Thanks!
