skittlesRgood Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 No. The circuitry of an amplifier is built to put out X watts at X ohms at X voltage. The amp's gain is set with the volume up on the HU and when you are turning the volume knob on your deck you are adjusting the AC input voltage to the amplifier. The amplifier is multiplying the input AC signal to produce an output AC signal. As soon as you are over the RMS wattage on your amp chances are you are clipping the signal and damaging the equipment. he's asking something much more basic than this.

TheNewbie Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 Lol, i think i got the jist of everyones to set my gain i turn the volume to what i want to always play it at. Otherwise i can cause clipping if i do it the other way around. Thanks guys this helped alot. Appreciate it Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
TheNewbie Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Onneee more thing, the bass knob will only go as high as the gain is set on the amp right?

skittlesRgood Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Onneee more thing, the bass knob will only go as high as the gain is set on the amp right? that depends on if its a gain knob or a bass boost. if its gain, yes, its limited my the amp. boost, im not 100% sure but i believe it bypasses the bass boost on the amp.
