[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5967657, member: 610253"] I owned a JL Audio Slash v2 500/1 for a time and when I set the voltage up per the JL Audio manual I too found that after using my DMM and the test tones ( I have an Alpine 9887 too by the way...good choice! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] ) and then played some music, it sounded way to low. I called tech support for JL Audio and they told me to put it my favorite tunes, crank it up to the loudest you would typically listen to it, put the DMM back on the speaker outputs and watch the voltage on the heaviest bass notes (I was using the amp for my subs). I did this with both the speakers connected and disconnected. Worked like a charm as I noted that I could turn the dial up almost 1/3+ higher and still not top the max voltage number they list in the manual. The tech rep indicated that those numbers are guidelines and that typically people are not going to hit those numbers. [/QUOTE]
