[QUOTE="krisfnbz, post: 4201152, member: 570594"] Yeah going active is really only for one big powerful frontstage...I have come to realize that. P.S I have finally set the gains on all of my equipment, and I have had time to mess around with it. I set the mids with a 1khz test tone, the tweets with a 4khz test tone, and the subs with a 40hz test tone. I gave the Mids 90w on the Dmm(I think it was like 19v) @ 4 ohms I gave the tweets 20w on the DMM(I think it was like 9v) @ 4 ohms(I found my tweeters are 4 ohm from rainbow) I gave the subs 600w on the DMM(35v) @ 2ohms. I had the volume at 25/35 while doing this. I have come to realize that 20/25 is loud as fuvk, and 25/35 is pretty much unbearable to listen to for most songs. My question is: If I have set my gains this way above, am I getting 90w at 20/25 volume on my HU?....I was always under the assumption that if I set 90w(19v) on the DMM at 25(3/4ths the head unit volume) that I would be getting 90w at 25.
