Gain setting

I am going to have the system installed this Sunday at a sound shop.

 

Is it safe to assume that most sound shops are proficient in dealing with audio specs such as in this case setting up the gain on my amps?

It depends on the shop. Some are more prudent than others when it comes to tasks like that. And even if they set it, there is no guaranty that they set it correctly.

So, I guess you should ask them how they set the gains also. It should involve some sort of measurement device (oscilloscope or DMM), don't let them just "set it by ear"

i personally don't like to trust anyone when it comes to something i spent my hard earned money on. i would probably check it myself.

No offense taken on the "HOMES." It's all good ESE!!!!

 

I have setted the sounds pretty well & I am happy with the outcome. I just need to consider getting a better battery because sometimes I notice dimming on my headlights. Do you guys consider doing the battery first to see if that clears up the issue or just getting a better alternator?
