[QUOTE="chris229, post: 28855, member: 542614"] here is the best way to SET your gains: Get a scope a test CD that has test tracks of 0dB sine waves and -10dB sine waves for all AMPs. So if you had a bass and a mid and high AMP you need bass tracks and midrange tracks . Play the 0dB tracks turn up your HU until the HU clips then back off untill it doesn't. move to the next processor and do the same. Do this all the way down the line of the signal chain. When you get to the AMPs you either can set the AMPs gain at 3-1 overlap OR a 10dB overlap. For a 3-1 you set the amp for 1/3 of the last processors RCA output. For a 10dB overlap you play the sine wave for that AMP in the -10dB recorded track and turn the gain [while reading the scope] up untill the AMP clips then back off. [/QUOTE]
