firstly, I have a 70w component pair, a 60w coaxial pair, and a 2 channel amp that should have no trouble powering them all. Being that they have different but similar rms ratings would it still be ok to put them in parallel? would i set the gain as if it were 2 60w on each channel or do normal (70+60) × ohms (2) and take the route?
second, was just setting gain for 1 70w on each channel, so aiming for 15v. I've read that 1000hz should be used for mids/highs, and i set it to 15v, but i found that at 1200hz = 18.4v, 1400hz = 15.8v, 1600hz = 14.1 and 2000hz= 19.6v. Should i set the gain such that the maximum volts I'm ever getting is 15V?
Thirdly, are there any symptoms of under powering the amps i should look out for? i don't wanna wreck them lol. I have heard of people saying about their lights dipping when the volume is up or smth but idk if something like that would be too extreme and the damage is already being done. Im not running anything crazy (a mono 300Wrms @4 ohms, the 2 channel w/ 200Wrms @ 4 ohms each channel)and i think my alternator is 80~100 A from looking at replacements for my model.
Thankyou for any help
