Signal waveform when outputting at high volume using amplifier gain control Signal waveform distorted with little increase in power. Relationship between amplifier gain and head unit output power If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will simply increase distortion, with high output, if you raise the gain of the amplifier the power changes only slightly. 6 En
