Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 612 Registered: Mar-06 | For Lanzar...Yea. Probably distorted as heck. To adjust the gain, Match it to the pre out volts. I turn the gain down, turn up the HU till it starts to distort, turn down a notch, then turn up gain till it distorts or clips, turn it down a hair and you done. Just do not exceed the set points of the volume level you set. If you set it for like 60/100 then anything past 60 is gonna sound like poo poo. If you want it louder then that, buy a new amp. |

Unless your HU has unsually low voltage pre-amp outputs it should be somewhere near 50%, or less if you have high voltage pre-outs. The idea is to have the amp producing the most power with your HU volume at or near its max (max w/o clipping). |
