Maximum Volume before Distortion?

I adjusted the gains on my amp at 75% power on my Kenwood Deck, It sounds pretty good, but when I play some music with a lot of guitar it really does not sound that great. Meaning some distortion during hard portions of the song, stuff like Linkin Park, yet Techno and stuff without a lot of guitar sound very good. What could be my problem? Are the preouts on my deck too weak? What else should I check? Thanks

the crossover settings probably aren't right. i'm guessing your running it off the 4 channel amp. i suggest you get a cross over.

its like playing treble on your subs and bass on your tweeters, try it one day it doesn't sound too pretty.

Ahh that's a kenwood [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. The music has a louder signal, thus making your volume setting higher than it actually is. Just turn it down a wee tad...
