What do you guys set your HU's Subwoofer level to? Mine goes from -6 to +6...does it matter as long as you set your gains accordingly?

you must have a panasonic. turn the volume to 3/4 with the sub level at 0. then adjust your amp no further than 7/8 gain. then try the sub control to decrease and increase the pre amp, if it distorts as you increase the take the gain down a notch, its easy. good luck bro

Thanks. Nah I have a Pioneer...but my buddy's got the new panasonics. I think my pre-outs are 4 volts...but are they 4 at 0 or 6+?

I have a Pioneer as well. I set my sub level at 0 db when im pounding, but for daily I have it at either -6 or -4.

My premier pioneer (2 years old) has 2v pre-outs. But in order to get the full pre-out voltage, at least at mine, you have to have sub level all the way up, and volume all the way up, which gives you distortion out.

My actual voltage out to my amp is .226vac, no joke. On the HU volume, it goes up to 62, but I only turn it up to 45 max (with loud sleceted to high) to mantain some of SQ.

Yeah that's what i've been doin...I got the avh-p5700dvd. The only thing that sucks is that the volume only goes to 35 and it's not a knob its a stupid + - button:crap:
