[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8787139, member: 614752"] What exact head unit do you have? That is often the place to start looking for trouble. Setting gains by just listening to music is fine assuming your intention is listening to music, that is provided you know what you're doing. If your LOC was set by "Just turning it halfway up" this doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that the installers have their **** together. I do not agree with trying to set gains via test tones and DMM unless your intention is to only play test tones and look at a DMM or scope output. If you're going to listen to music, set gains while listening to the sort of music you intend to play or if you're going to be doing competitions set gains via termlab numbers. [/QUOTE]
