[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 7976512, member: 644168"] The problem is you're amplifying an already amplified signal. This is a perfect recipe for distortion aka clipping. If you want a better failsafe, take a metallic sharpie and mark where you set your gains on your aftermarket amp. Keep the thumbrule of 80 percent on the HU and you should be OK. I'd also look into renting a DD-1 from someone here on the forum to make sure you know the max volume your HU can sent out without distorting to the amp. [/QUOTE]
