dude you have to understand what we deal with. u can ask who the hell does it all you want but the fact is people do do it. halfway up doesnt mean shit and we dont know how good you are when it comes to audio. so how do we know what you did? remember we get extreme noobs here all the time that dont even know what the gain does so we ask lots of questions.

Gotcha :thumbsup

Didnt mean to come off sounding like a douche, but the thought of somebody looking at an amp with everything being off, and adjusting everything to where it "looked right" makes me laugh. :scorp:

I'm sure all of us started like that when we didn't actually understand what we were doing :)

Alot of people think of the gain as a volume knob, and don't understand its used to match the input stage of the amp with the rca output of your deck.

OR

They crank it all the way up cause it sounds louder that way, and don't understand the problems this causes.

if we don't ask these redundant questions, we could be spinning our tires all day trying to help someone with a very basic problem that they overlooked
