gain setting question...

[hellbender 10+ year member]

anyone know why the jl audio gain tutorial link and site isnt working? I have a jbl px300.4 amp and the fronts are rated at 123 watts rms andi have a/d/s 236 is's for the fronts and i have the rear channels bridged for right now putting out 358 watts rms to an avalanche 15. I can get the sub voltage down ok but the highest voltage reading i get for the fronts is only like12.3 at vol. 30 with the treble set at +6 db. I have a panasonic cq401u cd player for now and if i turn up the volume past 30 then my tweeters go into protect mode. and even at 32 the voltage is only 15.6 . shouldnt my target voltage be like 21.9 for the fronts? I also have the cdt image enhancement kit which is an attenuater and an extra set of tweeters connected to my a/d/s tweeter output too. so if i go 120 watts x 4 sqrt = 21.9? even if i drop the ohms and use 120 x 3 sqrt = 18.97 still way shy of 12.3 volts. anything past like 31 on the vol. is met with distortion and my tweeters going into protect mode. please help i am way frustrated......thank you

Because they have updated their website, and you are probably following an old (and now dead) link.

Then the problem is your PC or browser and not the website. Works perfectly fine for me.
