one last thing....i set the voltage according to the RMS rating of the speaker i guess ?
say i have 60w rms tweeter on a 120w rms channel.... i set the volume around 3/4 of full and set the gain with the equation like this :

Volt = square root of (60w x 4ohm) ??

that way i know i get 100% of the rms capacity of my tweeter when volume is at 3/4 on a flat EQ ?

Start with the mid. Get it where you want it and adjust the sub and tweeter output around it.

its just to get you in the ballpark, its not a Fully reilable set method because each musical recording is recorded at different levels so you'll need to monitor your head unit volume for each song. Also if its a cheaper amp which does not do its rated power, telling the amp to do rated power will clip the amp and burn your equipment up.

Never assume that one volume and gain setting works for everything aka Passive Gain setting. Each song will have different limitations on how loud you can go cleanly. The best method is to monitor how your speaker sounds, how hot your amp/sub/speakers get and your system voltage drops and make head unit volume/sub level adjustments according to each song. This requires some experience but its a much more reliable method.

Making adjustments on the go and constantly monitoring your setup is called active gain setting, its an extremely healthy habit you need to build with car audio if you want the most of your equipment in both performance and longevity.

Which one? The internal or external **** sphincter? ;-) I'm an RN, I know about stuff like this!
