[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 8320527, member: 567719"] I don't usually bother setting the gains with a DMM on my main speaker amp for 2 reasons. 1. It's very easy to detect distortion/clipping with full range speakers (much more difficult with subwoofers) 2. Normally what is considered 'full power' from the amplifier is too much and isn't balanced with my subwoofer. So set your subwoofer gain using the dmm method, then as your listening to music adjust the gain on the kenwood amp so the front speaker level matches/blends with the subwoofer level. [/QUOTE]
