[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 18860, member: 7"] Re: Amp input sensitivy This is not unique to I-Techs. On nearly any amplifier turning down the input gains can cause input stage clipping. Additionally, most amps will have no visible indication of this condition. Not to mention that the these knobs may not be as accurate as setting the gain in the crossover. Most do run amps wide open, but most amps have several 10s of decibels more S/N ratio to start with. A really easy way to check and see if an amp (running WOT) is the cause of noise is to just unplug the signal from the amp. If it's silent, then your noise source is elsewhere. If that is indeed the case, turning down the output of your crossover will yield the same result as turning down the input of your amp. [/QUOTE]
