[QUOTE="Jimg, post: 8756266, member: 676695"] I am using a Dayton 408 dsp the max input voltage is 3.2 volts and the output voltage is 3.5 volts my headunit at 32 volume setting is around 3.1 volts so I am good on that measurment. my question is how do you set your amplifier gain if the amp is a true CEA rated amp of 4x100. speakers are a 4 ohm speaker so I would assume a reading of 20 volts output per channel on the amplifier would be giving a 100 watts per channel Do you set the gain where it measures the voltage out put to be 100 watts per channel, Or do you keep going and measure the max voltage the amplifier can do to clipping using an OScope.
