[QUOTE="joetama, post: 5031485, member: 564641"] Ok... Lets say that the driver circuits for the amplifier need 40 volts to output the desired wattage. 1 volt in has to be multiplied by 40 to get 40 volts. THe multiplier is controlled by the gain knob on the amplifier. 8 volts has to be multiplied by 5 to get 40 volts. So the knob would have to be lower. If the multiplier was set the same (gain was set the same) you would have 320 volts on an unlimited system. However lets say the system is limited at 60 volts. You are going to have hard clipping, causing the amplifier to shut down. [/QUOTE]
