Radio volume oddity, im an idiot

I got a Pioneer DEH P2900MP

Have had it for about a yr now, got it cheap but always been a fan of the DEH searies.

I thought it was because I was playing MP3s that kept me from being able to go full volume. 50-55-58 [depends on music style] is the loudest it will go without starting to sound liek crap.

Lots of tuning, at one point I gave up and just tuned everything for best sound a 50/ cranked amps up so I get full power at half volume. Ended up buying some CDs again as I wanted to be able to jam it louder. And my originals were scratched up to bad.

Thinking its the quality of the MP3s holding me back.

Get my new scratch free CDs in the mail and dam it all I can't go any lounder/cleaner with the same song as a a low quality 128k MP3.

Im stumped till I try some ubar clean volcals stuff id never listen to but for a test....

OK so now I know what the problem is.

The volume only goes up to 62, not the 100 I assumed, no mention in the book about that either.
