[QUOTE="Themerkle, post: 8673196, member: 676911"] I suppose this could very easily belon gin the speaker forum, but I think it's an amp issue. I've searched the forum and did some Google searches for my question but I can only find results for speakers cutting out when the volume is too high. My problem is speakers cutting when the volume goes too low. I'm using a pair of Polk components speakers rated at 100rms each on a Pioneer GM-5500t 2 channel amp rated for 125x2@4. The amp has a gain knob I'm not too familiar with; it doesn't just say high/low. It's got a "normal" in the middle, "6.5v" to the counterclockwise side and "0.2v" to the clockwise direction. If I set the amp to "normal gain" and set the head unit volume to my desired listening level, I get all 4 front speakers playing with very little buzzing/distortion when tested against a tone generator. However... when I turn the volume down on the head unit, at least one speaker will cut out and not play again until the power goes up. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
