Distorting over 25! 18 is the highest I put mine to, unless I turn down the bass. Can go a bit higher on radio (about 22 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a listen and get back to you.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loudest I put mine onto is 13, and that's with the bass +2 and LOUD on. Theres only so much the factory sound system can do. Make sure you have any EQ settings off also. Try turning the power limiter on, that caps distortion at a certain level, and automatically turns it down to limit the distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
