I have been out of the car audio world for about 20 years. I decided to hook up some of my old equipment for the heck of it. I forgot how much I used to enjoy doing this. I installed an old PPI ax606.2 with 2 of the old PPI PRO12 subs. I have them on a 2 ohm load on the amp running at 200 rms each. I hooked them up to my factory car audio system using one of the audiocontrol LC2i LOCs. My problem is my old amp has a input voltage of 2.5rms my LC2i is putting out about twice that rms. I need to hook my DMM up to the LC2i and see how the voltage changes as I adjust the gain on it and the bass boost. Right now the output gain is almost all the way down, and the bass boost is slightly under 1/2 way. I was assuming lowering the gain on the LOC would also lower the voltage, but this might not have been the case. I also have the gain on the amp almost all the way down. I was thinking this would make it less sensitive and help with the higher preamp voltage. Though after more reading and trying to remember this stuff I am wondering if this isn't just letting the amp start putting out full power with less voltage. If I turn the amp gain up to 1/2 or 3/4 will this help with the higher preamp voltage? Is there any inline voltage reducer I can use? I was looking at these, Harrison Labs 12 dB RCA Line Level Attenuator Pair <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N41B0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_Zz9KzbVH4Q97J" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N41B0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_Zz9KzbVH4Q97J</a> but now sure if they will do what I need. Thanks for the help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
