[QUOTE="thch, post: 4808852, member: 562032"] "correct" implies a goal. any gain setting is correct if it meets the criteria you set. eg, one person might set the gain such that the amp acheives maximum undistorted output at 20/30 on the HU. person two might set it such that the amp acheives the rated power of the attached speaker at 20/30 on the HU. person three might set it such that the speaker acheives a desired "normal listening" SPL at 20/30 each person had a reason for the gain setting. really, all you can do with the DMM is check to see if you might be overpowering the speaker, or maybe clipping.
