[QUOTE="nismboy6986, post: 528071, member: 543960"] ok i get what you are saying. what i did is after i set my gain by this level and played the 50hz sine it was loud as hell just like it supposed to be but actual music wasn't as loud as it was so i turned it up a bit since it seemed rediculously low ( hifonics accepts up to 9v head unit puts out 6.5 volts i had it up 20/35 and i BARELY had the gain a twitch above bare minimum) kind of like when a electrican is figuring out the amp load of a stove he would derate the max amp draw since no one would have all four burners and the oven on all at the same time all wide open. and i would reset them by JL's method the few times i would go to a comp and this i why for street use i still think the best method is to turn up the gain until you hear distortion then promply turn it down a notch or two.
