It isn't because it's a Kenwood. Head units are like home stereo receivers with built in amps.The volume control is basically a gain knob for the internal amp, so once you reach about half way you've turned the gain as far up as it can go without clipping. The preamp, on the other hand, doesn't really boost the signal so it isn't subject to the distortion problems that final amp gain is. That's why you can turn the volume much further up on the preamp outs than you can on the internal amplifier outputs. And I could be wrong but, I'm pretty certain Steve was talking preamp outs, not speaker outs. I know that the Pioneer head units I've experienced all distort at ~60 and other head units with max volume of 35 distort ~29-30.

Maybe when Sundown stops riding DD's Coat tails? You could've put a little more effort in to make your first post less shit.

Hmm, I feel like I recognize that basket......
