[QUOTE="asilentfire, post: 7959945, member: 641379"] 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 [B]Input sensitivity: [/B] [B]Low level: 100mV-2V[/B] [B]High level: 2V-8V[/B] 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? [COLOR=red]It makes the difference of not feeling the music and feeling it.[/COLOR] Thanks!
