[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8669700, member: 650438"] you do not set gains with test tones, you are just leaving way too much on the table. Just recognize whenever your speaker and amp gets stressed aka starts sounding like sh*t, thats basically when distortion gets in, back off the volume before then. throw away the multi meter method especially for music and SQ because the amp also reacts differently when you put a load on it as well. Best to do temperature checks every minute along with actually getting to know your system. I'd say you are still pigeonholing yourself waaaay too much by setting gains with a test tone for mids and highs, you never want to set gains with test tones with mids and highs ever. [/QUOTE]
