it has a compression circuit to prevent clipping. why isn't that just wired in?

also i found this:

I've got a MTX 1501D wired at 2ohms. so on my multimeter i should be reading 44.72v (2ohms x 1000W@2ohm=2000 ----> sqrt 2000 = 44.72)

what does that mean and how did they come up with that? sorry, but i'm getting a dmm today and i want this right and i know you guys can help. thanks again.

what power does it put out and what ohms will you be running it at?

it's rated at 1.5kw. i'll be running at 2ohm

so 1500x2 which is 3000, then do the square root of that which is 54.77 volts. play a 50 hz tone at either 0db or -3db and set the gain knob till it reads 54 volts AC.

mtx's are usually a little underrated but they rate them at 14.4v though. so i would just base your gain setting off of rated power if you want to be 100% safe.

JP at MTX support is an awesome guy to deal with. I kept asking, and he just kept givin me what i need. We set it at 46.6v for 1100w. thanks for the help tcguy85
