do you mean 100hz sin wave or 1000hz sin wave?

also i tryed finding the voltage thing and i couldent find it.

amp is 75wx4@4ohms and the comp set is 4 ohms so what do i need to be at?

1000hz, as in 1kHz. You always want to set your gain using a tone in the middle of the signal range. 100hz would be at the very bottom of the range for mids

setting gains with a dmm is for noobs!

ok so how would you like me to set them?

i have always set my gain based on what sounds good and would just lower the gains if the speakers sounded over powered or sounded stressed.

i havent had a problem till now with useing that method but i gess shit happens.

x2! I get tired of everyone always telling people to set gains with a DMM......

Been doing by ear forever and haven't blowen anything up.

Ok, I did with some type R's years ago........and that was after having them for 3 plus years hammering on them. That and my Fi q, which was a faulty sub.

well i honestly dont think i blew them from cliping them or over powering them and i also dont think its both mids just the right mid.

like my first post says i think the mid got wet from wasing my car them i probly listened to the stereo wile it was wet and that what made it blow. ans its not even that bad it dont pop and distort at low volumes just at higher ones. thanks for all the help guys.
