Just installed my components in the front with a amp to the stock hu. Also used a inline adapter, it has 2 dials on it. How do i adjust this and the gain on my amp so they work well together? I have installed

PHOENIX GOLD 6.5" 240w COMPONENT SPEAKERS RSD65CS Phoenix Gold RSD250.2 200-Watt 2-Channel

quick and easy is to play a very quiet piece of music,( a zero bit track is best ) get things as loud as possible . when you hear hiss turn it back. your deck should only be able to be turned up no louder than it would be to blow some stuff. if a passenger cranked the volume no worries and no distortion as your max volume set through your amp wont allow it

what about the inline adapter it has 2 gains on it as well?

play with both and see which gives you the most hiss. i would assume the adapter would give the most noise

i would assume the adapter will give the most hiss. try for the highest volume with the lowest noise

? hiss i have no hiss. thr problem is high volume and low volume knob, if i turn down the gain evrytime i turn the volume up the speakers shutt off?

Are the gain adjustments on the adapter for line in and line out? Or for left & right out? I'd just turn down all your gains, then turn your radio to a fairly high setting. then turn up the adapter settings to a decent level and adjust the amp gain to match. You can use a DMM to check the voltage of your RCA's. this will help to know where about to adjust your amp....
