2Vrms to 20Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output from maximum to minimum gain. For factory amplifiers with more than 20Vrms signal or if the linkDQ’s output is too high for the connected aftermarket amplifier(s) with all gains at minimum, internal jumpers are available to reduce the input sensitivity range by half (-6dB) for 4Vrms up to 40Vrms.
REM OUT SPK IN RCA OUT Note: When using the factory radio to drive speakers directly and provide the linkDQ with signal, the speakers will likely distort before reaching the radio’s maximum volume setting. Adjust gain accordingly for optimum volume range.
