[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8757756, member: 681842"] So I know how to set the gains using the multimeter but this seems flawed to me. Is setting the gains not just matching the output from the head unit. So my question is shouldn't the output voltage of the RCA's not be part of the equation. Is there a way to factor it in or is this just a by ear kinda thing cuz that doesn't seem very technical and differs from person to person I'm trying to tune my new system and I'm basically using the same equipment from my old setup the difference being a 4 volt pre out HU in the old and a RF 360.3 with 8 volt pre outs in the new and nothing is even close I tell you between the 360.3 and the Bose surround sound this car is kicking my ass but I have done everything from make the box to making fiberglass pods for the front doors myself and refuse to take it in to a shop. I started this **** and I'm going to be the one to finish it. On to the other problem My front components Ampere Audio 6.5" Dream series components running active off a DD Cb 5 (100x4) Front chanel runs the 6.5's rear runs the tweeters The amp is set to all pass on the crossover 360.3 settings Tweeters -3k-20k 12 db slope mids- 80-3k sub- 20-80 The sub is fine In fact the only problem with the bass was I forgot about the air vents in the trunk and had to rip everything apart and pull them out and cover the hole to stop the rattle The front end is a little sketchy to say the least It gets loud, but not the actual voice in the song. I turned off all the Bose crap (infinti q 50 w/14 speaker bose) in the HU Still sounded like **** So I turned the surround volume all the way down this made things a hell of a lot better but still the actual voice in the song is quiet. its better but not nearly as loud as the rest of the music playing Is there some setting in the 360.3 that will compensate for this that I'm missing I'm guessing because I don't have the rest of the Bose system playing that its putting the voice out to a center or virtual center speaker [/QUOTE]
