[QUOTE="XanderMoser, post: 3038378, member: 574859"] Pretty much, yes. The gain is a knob on the amplifier that controls how sensitive the amp is to the signal you are giving it from your cd player. There are many tutorials for setting the gain. I'll outline the basic steps: 1. turn off all bass boost, flatten all equalizers, turn off all loudness 2. turn the gain all the way to the minimum (almost always counterclockwise) 3. turn the volume on the head unit to about 3/4 4. increase the gain on the amp slowly until you begin to hear distortion, then turn it down slightly. 5. tune the mids and highs to your liking with the head unit. If you are inexperienced, I would suggest not boosting the bass at all on the equalizers or using loudness, because that could send a distorted or even clipped signal to the amp. [/QUOTE]
