[QUOTE="BossmanReuben, post: 8320446, member: 662434"] Okay so I currently have a Kenwood BT558U headunit (1-35 volume), Kenwood KAC-8405 (60 rms x 4 ohms), Memphis 15-mc620 6.5 coaxials in the front, and Alpine SPE-6000 6.5 coaxials in the back. Now when I try set set my gains with the DMM method using the square root of 240 I get 15.49 and I use my flash drive with the 1k test tone from RoE set at 26 volume. I can match it up pretty fine with the DMM but when I actually play music anything from volume 1 to 16 is barely audible and around 25-27 seems to be the sweet spot. Am I just used to the speakers being run from the headunit and distorting really quick? Or am I messing something up? I also have the high pass filter on the amp set to 100hz [/QUOTE]
