[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8702656, member: 540940"] Using an attenuated tone for gain adjustment on an overpowered speaker is the opposite of what you want to do. C'mon. :rolleyes: It's actually not that big of a deal Josh. Just min your gains and adjust them by ear to a reasonable level. Obviously you want to err on the conservative side. Be particularly careful when you're listening at high volume. If you want to verify by DMM use a [B]0dB[/B] tone. Instead of tuning the gain to 40v (Sqrt(2*800)), you'd just tune it to 28v (sqrt(2*400). That would ensure the amp's output would never exceed 400w. There would be no harm in setting it for 31-32.
