ice question
i dont know too much about ice setups, and i have a question about what i need to do to achieve what i want
i have a 4 channel amp, 2 front, 2 rear, and a sub.
my amp only has one gain setting for all channels so i cant adjust each channel seperately
is there anything i can get to enable me to adjust the gain for each channel? so for example i can increase the volume in the front or rear without getting another amp?
cheers

Re: ice question
Not really fella. To be honest amps are so cheap these days I would just get a new one that does what you want. If I were you I would get a 4ch that you can use to run th efront speakers off 2 channels and then bridge the other two channels to run the sub then run your back speakers from the headunit

Re: ice question
hmm i never thought of doing it like that, thats what i really want i wanted to be able to turn the gain down on the back speakers so i could hear the front ones more, make it more surround rather than all coming from the rear
does an amp increase the sound quality at all or just make it louder? would running the rears off the head unit affect the quality? its a sony xplod headunit not sure on the model quite a new one tho i think
i thought about using my old 2 channel for the front but i dont really wanna have more than 1 amp in my boot im trying to save space as it is

Re: ice question
An amp only amplifies the signal thats there. For good quality sound you need a good quality source and you need to play through good quality speakers. You don't have to spend a fortune for something nice sounding. My whole FRST install stands me at only just over a grand including all cables

Re: ice question
its strange you have only one gain setting on a 4channel amp...which amp is it out of curiosity?
might be worth getting a different amp (if you cant adjust front and rear channels independently)...another 4 channel amp or maybe even a 5 channel depending on what you want to spend
