[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6530180, member: 591579"] Dont know about the JL amp's design but also realize the gain dial on most amps doesn't work in a linnear fashion so who knows what it's actually set at if you don't put it on a notch that's clearly marked. Ive had a couple where all the way down is like 6 volts, half way is 2, a quarter is .5, etc... A quick check on that amp and it looks like the dial isn't even marked. if your head unit is 2 volts and half way is thereabouts, not so bad. If your head unit is 2 volts and half way is like .5, here comes the clipping. [/QUOTE]
