What's your input level set to?
Unless I misunderstand (totally possible) you're sending an amplified signal - rather than a preamp signal - into an amplifier.
One summer, I was teaching a class at UofA and as I walked to my car one afternoon, I thought to myself "wow, it's pleasantly not sweltering today." Got in the car and the radio informed me that it was currently 96F on campus.
THAT'S how hot Tucson is. 96 felt like RELIEF.
Yeah, I think is a legit list, for the most part. I do wish there were a more luxe version of the Maverick. Or that the $40k+ trim were as luxe as its pricetag suggests.
Maybe once Toyota brings some real competition to market, Ford will be forced to up their game.
