yeah the balance is flat. I'll look at the voltage at the end of the RCAs today. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks man. Lotta mental peace now.

I've got a kenwood KAC-8452 amp folks and ch1 and ch2 have my front compos hooked on. I've used the multimeter to set my gains and according to calculations I'm supposed to set the gain so that 14.1 volts is displayed on my DMM. I've done that and when I use the probes on channel 1 it displays...

JBL's manual says its 2 ohms. Crutchfield says 2 ohms too. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-e5o6O1HwRjJ/cgi-bin/Prodview.asp?readmore=true&search=gto607c&i=109GTO607C#Tab

Thanks. I'll do it and let you know of my results. I should change the operation of the bridged channel from stereo to monaural right?

Thank you for the quick reply. The front compos are rated for 70 rms @ 2ohms. The amp outputs 70rms@4ohms. I read somewhere the lower one should be considered. So sqrt (70 x 2) = 11.8v is what I'm thinking I should set the front two channel to. The subwoofer is rated at 125rms@4ohms. The amp...

I tried to figure it out myself but it was too confusing folks. Could someone help me calculate what gains I should be looking at for my front compos and sub? This is what I have : Alpine 9857 - all factory settings except sub vol level which is at level 15 and main vol is at 26(3/4 of max)...

real dumb *** question...i've selected two tones for testing i.e. one for front compos and one for the subwoofer. Do I burn these two tones on two different CDs like an audio cd? the files I have are .wav files. Thanks

Need some help folks I'm getting the following: Alpine 9857 Alpine 4 ch amp Rainbow SLC 230 (front components) no rear speakers now the question is do I need a SW? I'm not a bass freak. I'm not a big fan of thumping sounds but a lil would be nice. The listen to Pop Music most of the time...

the alpines are best. use the forum search to know why.

is it because your cars are two door and small? or is it because you have a very good front compos + subwoofer setup? Thanks

its all in the subject folks. Kinda running tight on the budget. So I'm just getting a HU, 2ch amp and my front components. Can somone suggest a good 2ch amp under $150 or thereabout? Thanks
