[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 69304, member: 544457"] All it is doing (if what I am reading and gethering from here is correct) is feeding to a POT or variable resistor. It is not causing it to gain anything more than the amp is already pushing out but is limiting what is put out on a full frequency range. Much the same way a crossover can do the same with set or certain frequencies. It is pretty much useless.....As for an amp putting out continuous power... someone else already said it right... it only puts out more or less as the signal is fed to it. Peaks cause higher output and lows cause lower output (wattage). Without the variables and if you only had a steady wattage pumped out to the speakers you would only hear a monotone noise and never hear th music. [/QUOTE]
