audiofanaticz Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 As said above, not all radios distort, so it maybe distortion free at max volume. So you should reset your amplfiers gain to match the new radio volume settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philrab Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just went through this same situation on a newly installed Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997. Volume maxed out, no distortion on the subwoofer out. Cranked the subwoofer output from 0 (range is -15 to +15) to max, and managed to max out the amp. Just goes to show every head unit is different.
