[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5526807, member: 596464"] For your mids/highs, you generally want to use a 1,000 Hz, 0 dB, test tone. Everything will need to be set flat on your HU (no bass, treble, loudness, etc.), and all your external processing/crossovers will need to be turned off while setting the gain! You also want to do this with your speakers disconnected because chances are highly likely that you will blow them if you try to set your gain while that test tone is running through the amp to your components. I would go a little less than that since those speakers only handle 110 watts RMS, say 22 volts. Then again, it all depends on how sensible you are with the volume knob. I was told the Type R tweeters are fragile and will blow easily but I wouldn't know this since I am running some CDT TW-25s with my Type R 6.5s. [/QUOTE]
