soundgate overload!

[Chuck Reisig]

    I also have a Soundgate adapter in my '90 V8 and initially had a
similar problem.  You have to connect the head unit pre-outs to the
Soundgate, or else you will overdrive it.  Using the line outputs, I
couldn't turn the thing up past 9, it was too loud!!  Changing over to
the pre-outs of the head unit it seems to work fine.  BTW I am using an
Alpine head unit rated at 40x4.  I am using the unit for Audi Bose
systems.  I have had it in the car for over a year, with no problems.
