Now I am confused, I thought he was an experience installer of like 8 years working at some place called fuzion...., yet his car domain says...
Here is my current list of mods (all work was done by Fuzion Autostyling and Performance in Havertown Pa):
-debadged
-20% tint
-Dc sports carbon/steel strut tower bar
-Dc sports exhaust race header
-Dc sports axle back exhaust system
-B&M short shifter (not installed)
-Eibach Pro kit 1.4" lowering springs (not installed)
-Alpine CDA-9851 cd/mp3 head unit
-Audiobahn A200xQ rack mount amplifier
-2 10" Audiobahn 'Sound Q' aluminum cone subwoofers
Looks like fuzion did the work, he watched them install... Guess that makes you an installer!

He sure is a pro installer! Check out this WICKED install Performed by him... oops wait Fuzion... Sure looks like an installer with 8 years of experience!

And his high power amp of equal quality at a great price to anything else out there!

A: The gain/level adjustment on your amplifier is not a volume control or ****. The gain is used to tell the amplifier how strong of a signal is coming from the head unit on the RCA cables. This is called line-out or pre-out voltage and is rated in volts. The amplifier takes the signal coming from the head unit and will amplify it depending on the setting you choose. If you do not properly set the gain and turn it too high up, the signal will be over-amplified and it can cause the amp to clip, which causes distortion to be sent to the subs. This is one of the most common reasons for amplifiers / speakers or subwoofers to blow. An amplifier can produce full or maximum power with many different gain settings depending on the head unit's pre-out voltage. If you have a high pre-out voltage from the head unit, the gain will need to be set lower. If you have a low pre-out voltage, you will need to se the gain higher. Make sure you head unit does not have a higher pre-out voltage than the amplifier can use. the rating on the amplifier you need to look at is called input sensitivity. Try to always get an amplifier with a higher maximum input sensitivity than your head unit pre-out rating.
btw, all this info is coming from Audiobahn's site. And i'm sure they have "0 clue" about audio. :D
