    What is up with the volume on this thing!?

    Hey guys. I am done installing the alpine 7995 deck ,adn the pioneer gm-x374 4 channel amp. After a few days I gotta say..I am concerned. I used ot have the volume at like 16-17 in my old deck. Now, with the new setup, the volume is at 4, and is plenty. 5 and it gets loud. What the heck is goung on!? It annoys me, cause the difference between 4-5 is not a little one..it is big! I cannot take it louder, or the fricken windows will blow at like 10!

    i think that's how it is...an amp increases your signal from the deck to the speakers....there for you don't have to turn it up very loud to get the sound you want it...if you don't like it that loud then you can turn down the gains on the amp...

        no shit, if u have the amp connected to higher performing speakers then it will tkae a little more to max them, but if u have em to stock fuzzy speakers they will be maded out quick.

        thats how an AMPLIFIED setup goes...
        What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

        You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

          How else am I supposed to use this then? I wanna still hear when I am 40, and the deck requires an amp, cause it has no internal power...at all.

            Y not turned down yer bass and treble settings? should be listed under the 'bass engine plus'.
            i know on my head unit i turn my bass into the negative, coz it hits waaay too hard sometimes.

                put the gain down all the way

                then put the volume up to the highest level u hear it at

                then turn the gain up till u hear a level sound

                then turn it down half way then adjust the gain to how u like it.

                tada u just balanced your system.
