Decaf Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 what dont you get bro? the bass amp cannot distort at 57 because the volume should be at 62 when setting sub amp gain, therefor it CANNOT clip/distort at 57 when setting it up correctly (unless you had a 8v preout or something crazy like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armykyle1 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 My pioneer is the same way, I can turn it all the way up with no issues.

SlamminBeats Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 so then 56 is safer then? right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) so then 56 is safer then? right? 62 is clip free... so volume 0-62 is safe you want the most amount off preout voltage so you turn the gain on amp up the least, this results in the least amount of thd Edited January 4, 2012 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So say i tune it at 62, would you recommend turning it up to 62? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
