Does anyone know why this might be happening? It gets louder up to 22, then 23 is quieter than 22 and it starts coming back after that, so like 27~28 = 22

Is there a setting or configuration that I missed? I don't think it's a power issue because it gets louder than 22 but you just have to take it up past 27 or so to get there.

I know that "defeat" is off, and I think I checked through all of the other configs.

Any ideas?

 

nope...
But for the record most apline decks send the most uncliped audio output at vol 22-23 (depending on unit). Anything above that threshold is distorted signal.

So I would say 22 is the max for you.

 

Ditto the above^^^. 94

 

Makes sense. Okay I'll go ahead and adjust the gain on my amp accordingly.

I'm installing my Diamond Audio Hex components this afternoon woot woot!
