High voltage and low resistance would cause high amps. E = I R or I = E/R. PS E would be electromotive force measured in volts. R would be resistance measured in ohms. I would be current flow measured in amps.

Your speakers have started to distort and you checked both amps and it is coming out of both amps but not out of your radio speakers only the amp speakers what would make this happen?

If you are referring to a car and not a home theatre set up than most likely your problem would be "engine noise". The inner workings of the car create low level frequencies that you normally won't pick up. But when you use amps, which AMPLIFY frequencies (sound) everything can get amplified. There are several devices to block but their operational success depends on the position of your amps and radio. The best way to insure your amps don't pick up engine noise is to use sheilded wires.


Why do car amplifiers have low and high level inputs?

Different stereos has different output ranges. Thus amps have differing input ranges.
