PBR300x2
#21
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.

Well I just got the 300x4 today and OMG is it awesome, I am running the sony with the tune tray and polk DXI6500 components....however I am getting the clipping, I have the gain set at 5 and the xover set on all pass. So tomorrow I am gonna set the gain a lil lower and roll with it.
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.
