[QUOTE="my2006c6, post: 8911069, member: 661724"] Picked up a new amp and new 2 way 6.5 component speakers. And ive always set gains by math calculations and using my good fluke meter and set A.C. volts at amp speaker terminals... BUT now my new amp has more power than my 6.5 components and trying to figure out voltage spec to set gain. The new amp is a Gladen RS 150C2 and here are specs [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Stereo Power RMS @ 4 Ohm[/TD] [TD]2 x 150W[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Stereo Power RMS @ 2 Ohm[/TD] [TD]2 x 230W[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] And my new speakers are Gladen ZERO 165, 6.5 (2 WAY) But they are 3 ohms which makes it harder to calculate . and specs are [LIST] [*]2x 150/100 Watt = which is 100 RMS, and max 150 [*]3 ohm impedance... [*]So with speaker being 3 ohms, i would need to calculate it somehow.... My BEST guess so im not over powering the speakers would be setting A.C. voltage at amp speaker terminal to ,, 17 ac volt ??? Looking for input and if i may be close on my calculations. [*] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
