[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8696151, member: 675210"] Step #1. Find the maximum undistorted output of the head unit. If the Kenwood goes to 40, set it at 35 if you have no way to measure... Just to be safe. Step #2. Set the crossover for the subwoofer to 80hz Step #3. Make sure ALL your levels in the head unit are [USER=677807]@Zero[/USER]. Balance centered, Fade centered, no bass boost, sub level at zero, All EQ's flat Step #4. Use a 40hz or 50hz tone and try to set the gain now... it should go above 39v You were sending a 50hz tone to your amp then measuring with a multimeter... since it was crossed over set to 35hz there was no way it could be gained correctly as it was set below the signal you were using. Set LPF to 80hz, use a 40hz tone and you should be close to where you want to be. [/QUOTE]
