[QUOTE="idiot, post: 3084425, member: 550902"] On another note, wierd things were happening with my x200.4 when I was setting gains. The Ushers are 8ohm drivers, so if I wanted to give them ~100W, I should be looking for ~28V on the multimeter. Gain setting went well with my sub, which is running off an Avionixx amp. But even when the Xenon gains were turned all the way up, I was only reading a little over 2V on the multimeter. Now, the Ushers were still getting pretty freaking loud, so I just matched my other speakers to it's volume and called it a day, but this really bothers me, and I'll need to address this. The higher-powered Xenons have two sets of power/ground inputs, but my distribution block only has two connections. I'm using both, so I just hooked up a single set of power/ground wires. Presumably, this is my problem. But the manual only lists a single fuse size for the x200.4: 120A. So does this mean that I can drop to a pair of lower-guage wire (I'm running 2ga, while the manual calls for 4ga) and run off my single fuse, or should I get a new distribution block and slap a 60A fuse on both inputs? Sorry for the silly questions, but I've never run into an amp that had two sets of power/ground like this. And this is an excuse for two more pictures. One of my old, dirty sub, and my messy amp rack under the floorboard. On that note, I've heard that you can clean up a nasty sub with Armor-all... is that true?
