If you feed from d12's headphone socket, that means you are double amping. Not really a good thing. Try using the aux out socket, which bypass the amplify section of D12.
ok thanks. I didnt realise the aux bypassed the amp.

Try downloading the D12 manual at the bottom of the product page - it should tell you everything you need to know.
