PBR300x2
I am now hearing frequencies being played that I never heard with the RCAs.
Just like a lot of other guys on here have stated. High level (speaker) inputs are far superior on this amp. It's really not built for RCA hook-ups.
Try it and see the difference!

its load as hell before it clips but you bump the folume button one more notch & it will clip.

Basically, I've set the gains at their lowest; set bass and treble flat on the HK head unit; and, increased volume to about 3/4 max. Then I've increased gain to where I hear distortion.
Also, music source seems to be an important variable since various media may be recorded at different output volume levels.
Bottom line: I believe setting amp controls is mostly art, given variabilities in speakers and music sources.

hi pass will keep the base from coming through the speakers but still alow mids to come through.
i didnt think it would work till i tried it & mann what a difference.
im running the HK deck & the gain just off the bottom & i can crank the volum almost all the way up befor it starts to distort.

try the hi pass & run the gain just off the bottom & that should stop the clipping.
