ok i was overpowering my alpine type r............but i didnt realize i was until i heard my system while i was standing outside of it
so i turned the gain on the amp down about 50% from where it was and my sub sounded just as loud as before except it was distorting so thats why i was confused haha

He is saying that his ampliflier's preamp was distorting because he had to hot of a signal going into it. So, by turning down the gain on the amp matching the headunits output, he was able to gain sound quality and retain over all output.
