My Speakers are not getting as loud as I expected
1.
If using Bluetooth, make sure that your source device does not have any EQ or audio effects
applied. Many equalizers, when turned on, will drop the overall output to give you more
headroom for creating boosts in the EQ at max volume without clipping, distortion, etc.
2.
To reach the rated power, you need to provide the amplifier the maximum power supply. A
lesser rated power supply will not let the amplifier provide full power.
3.
If using AUX input, to reach the rated power of the amp, you need to provide the amplifier a
sufficiently high voltage audio input. Aux outputs from laptops, TVs, mobile devices, etc do not
always provide a sufficiently high voltage audio output to get the maximum power out of an
amplifier. You might need a different audio source, or add a preamp.
4.
Your speakers might be very inefficient, or maybe they have been accidently wired wrong and
are presenting, for example, a 16Ohm load to the amplifier by wiring two 8 ohm speakers in
series instead of in parallel to create 4Ohm load.
