[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5975808, member: 610253"] My only question with this method is what is the liklihood that he is actually going to reach that voltage when playing his tunes? I mean, you are using a test tone here which is a constant and in my experience, setting the amp gain this way actually turns out to be pretty low. If his max voltage is supposed to be 22, I'd maybe start by setting the gain using the method described and then proceed to play one of your fav tunes that will really push the amp. Leave the DMM on the speaker outs and note the voltage...it's going to bounce all over the place as your tunes are not a test tone, but if the voltages displayed never get close to 22, you should be able to push the gain up some more until you start seeing number closer to 22. IMHO. Some call this setting the gains by ear. Adding the DMM just makes sure you are staying within the parameters of the amp. [/QUOTE]
