[QUOTE="smgreen20, post: 6151354, member: 560505"] I have an Eclipse CD8455 and the Audio Control DQS too. Music, as we all know, is dynamic so the UH wont send the 8V unless you use a 0 dB test tone. Don't forget to disconnect those speakers. I set the volume on the HU to where I listen to it on a regular basis, around 72/80. For the input side of things on the DQS (I run 3 way active via the HU) front AKA: tweets, the white dot is pointed at 1:30. The Sub/center AKA: subs are maxed, and the rear AKA: Mids are at 3:00 On the output side of things on the DQS, Fronts (tweets) are at 12:30, sub/center (subs) are set at 3:00 and the rear (mids) are at 2:00. Only the tweets and mids lights on the DQS start to flicker at full tilt, and the sub light not at all. NOTE: My sub amp NEEDS an 8 volt signal for optimum performance, Phoenix Gold ZPA0.5v2, and my mids/highs amp is a Phoenix Gold ZX450v2. The gains on both amps are dead flat. Set your xover freq and slope to before you set the gains as it'll change the output. Though not by much, but enough. [/QUOTE]
