[QUOTE="XTRProBoy, post: 2585192, member: 571009"] ^Chris I appreciate the explanations above, thanks [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] So from what I gather you essentially agree with me but you're saying that this method works only with JL slash/RIPS amps and no others? Because if that's the case why do we have 40 pages of people trying to set their (mainly non-JL) amps with this? Shouldn't there be a warning "only use this method to set a JL Slash amp with RIPS"? I dunno. Perhaps you could take a look at the other thread where I made some protest to the same method (starting on page 3) I'd be interested to see what you would say in regards to that: [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?p=2678394"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2678394[/URL] The method mentioned here [if we choose to use it] seems to imply that [I]gain [/I][I][B]is[/B][/I][I] indeed a volume control[/I]--that's why going by this method you would want to set the input sensitivity differently for a different load (yet for the same amp and HU). Becuase you take into account the load you're driving not the voltage output of the HU and the input modifying by the amp; [I]and[/I] you do so measuring with no load on the amp. If we disregard the load that is later going to be connected and set the gain the same at all times provided the source unit and amp are the same, [I]then[/I] the saying "gain is [B]not[/B] a volume control" does apply.
