[QUOTE="TheeyaN, post: 6100144, member: 604413"] After many heavy duty reading marathons in which things are always spoken difrently i decided to ask one final question and put a stop to this madness once and for all. SETTING GAINS! I hear that when setting gains all of your setting should be flat on.. Why is that? I for sure am not going to listen to my music that why.. So why should i set the gains like that? Isnt it ''smarter'' to do something like this.. Lets say for example we have a 2ch amp,for the mids.. Rated 2x100 rms.. The famous DMM equation would be 20V.. Let us now say we set our gains on 12-15V.. That somewhere more than 50%.. After that we listen to REAL music,and not test tones,and set everything to our like,the equaliser,the hpf lpf,slopes etc etc. everything that is adjustable. When we finish that,we set the gain to the minimum,set the HU volume (lets say we have a Pioneer HU) to 58,insert 1000hz test tone,and then either go by listening or the DMM equation,or combined and set the gains in that matter. I really dont see the point of setting the gain when everything is flat,becouse when u make all those adjustments the signal wont be the same. So let me hear you,what do you think about my theory? Does it FAIL or is it approved? Ofcourse explanations would be in order,why this why that.. [/QUOTE]
