HU clipping @ 65%?

I can push a button pretty well, most of the time, was more referring to reading it right so I know when it's clipping or not

Pioneers clip @ full volume, set your gains @ 61/62.

x2. Confirmed with O-scope. Perfect @ 61, clipped at 62.

Why not be able to use the actual amount of volume allotted? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
Lower volume setting would just mean louder @ higher volume with a chance for potential distortion, also a higher gain setting that may allow floor noise, but not always.

I have my gain set with the volume at 45, And I hear a Static/hissing noise in the background when no music is playing or on a vocal song. Is this what you call floor noise? I noticed before that the only way to get rid of this noise was to lower the gain. So should I raise the volume to 55 or so, while setting the gain at a lower level?

yes that is the noise floor you hear.

I have CDT E-61's with TW-25 Tweeters running off a JBL GTO75.4 II [104x4 @ 40ohm].

With the gains set at 61, what volume do you guys normally listen to it around? 'cause, I just find it strange that I have to put it up to like 60% just for it to be enjoyable.

I guess I have to reset my gains at 61. Should I do it by ear or just wait 'till I can use a DMM which'll be in a week or so? Maybe more.

34-45

though I use a 3:1 ratio, I set my amps gains with -10dB tones. Sounds damn good!

thanks to db and ultimate for the info on the pioneer o-scope readings, i am way happier with the sound of my system now that it is tuned at 61
