Gains are labelled backwards?

Does this make sense?

Head Unit- Pioneer 880PRS - 5v outs

On my alpine MRP-F250 (4ch mode) (4v max), the instructions state (like all instructions) to start out with the gains set to min (CCW). They say min is 4v. The amp is labeled 3/4 of the way to max as .5v. So I'm assuming max is .1v

Now on my MTX TC3001 (sub), they also say to start out at min (CCW). However, the amp is labelled the opposite. Full CCW is labelled as .1v and Full CW is labelled as 5v.

Does this make sense?

I haven't hooked up my DMM since I can't find test tones anywhere so I'm just doing it by ear. I set my head unit to 3/4, play music, and I turned the gains up (CW) till it was very loud (and still clear). I could probably could louder but I'm not after maximum volume.

Is this sufficient?

Thanks. I found those last night shortly after posting.

I can read just fine, I just don't read every single detail of a post all over again every single time I come back here. There was another test tone sticky thread that I was in the other day when I was setting my gains that pointed to a gmail account that somebody had emptied. Last night, I just skipped over it thinking it was the same thread. I finally looked more closely and saw the timestamp and the lack of replies.

Thanks for taking the time to find a better more secure place to upload the tones too!
