[QUOTE="digitalrainman, post: 4094783, member: 577603"] One issue that went wrong was you listening to the test tones with the speakers plugged in. Yes it will be very loud, and from all ive read you are NOT supposed to playback test tones to actual speakers, especially with highs, or lows that are very very low. As long as you set all the settings on your hu the way you like, then set volume to the max you want to turn to, then play test tones with speakers diconnected, that should be when you start to play with gain. If you were to keep your settings on the hu to a minimum before setting your gains, then when you do play with them you may go over the rms you are shooting for. [/QUOTE]
