[QUOTE="jsloan10, post: 950638, member: 560397"] Ignore the ratings for their amps and subs its model specific, you need to substitute your equipment in its place. All you need to do is play a 50hz tone and turn the gain up untill the desired voltage is acheived, 1khz for mid/tweet amp. voltage is verified at the speaker terminals using a DMM whith the speakers disconnected I'll figure out the target voltage but I need to know what speakers the amp is going to run and what are the voice coils ohm ratings for example Sub amp -brand, model and rated output. Sub woofer -brand, model, voice coils nominal impedance (ohms) and RMS power handling. You basically want to set the voltage output of the amp to match the voltage handling of the speaker. for example a SVC 4ohm sub rated for 300 watts RMS would have a target voltage of about 35 volts, so you would tweak up the gain until you got 35 volts on the outputs. Watch this again- [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/Input_Sensitivity/Input_Sensitivity.html"]http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/Input_Sensitivity/Input_Sensitivity.html[/URL] Its very important you get a good understanding of it.
