a better way to describe it is...
if your amp has an input capable of say .300 volts to 4 volts... your new deck is actually to powerfull for your amp.. BECAUSE.
look at the input stage like a gate... if your trying to push 5 volts into a 4 volt gate, your actually cutting off part of the signal... if you look at a rca signal which is an AC signal, it looks like a sign wave... i.e up and down all the time and the curve being rounded..
but if you've cut the signal down to go into your amp the signal will change..
you'll cut the top and bottom part of the wave form and make it square... so untill the wave comes back down to a range that your amp can see, that square part of the wave becomes DC current...
and in short, this is what starts/causes distortion.
DC current is bad for speakers and bad for the input stage of any amp. and will only cause damage to both components.
on the other hand if your amp is capable of taking the new signal... like mic* said... you should match the "gain" on your amp with your new rca signal strength.
