[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 7079082, member: 576010"] Son, your testing methodology is way out of wack... unfortunatly there is a lot of misinformation/stupidity on the web when it comes to setting gains with a DMM which is probably where your faully began... Preferably, you should be using a true RMS meter.. but if you don't have one its still more or less OK... second, you should be using a test tone, not music, which I presume is what you were using... 60Hz sine wave should be perfect, especially if you don't have a true RMS meter... Last... [B]YOU WANT A LOAD CONNECTED TO THE AMP[/B]... I'm not sure what idiot first suggested you should disconnect the subs, but they did not know what they were talking about.. ideally you should use a dummy load.. otherwise at least leave the subs hooked up.. This is all neither here nor there as to how a sub stage should be setup if SQ is the goal.... [/QUOTE]
