[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8692258, member: 562180"] Good info man. But what's throwing me off is the fact that you're setting the gain using a 0DB test tone. When I set my gains for sub amp, I go by what the subs rms is, look at the chart online/google for the targeted gain voltage setting is for 1, 2 or 4 ohms then I would use a 40Hz tone to find voltage target for the amps' gain setting. For instance I gotta 3000 watt amp I'll just use my DMM and the 40Hz tone to find the voltage of 54.77 or close to it. I'll use a 1000Hz test tone for setting my mids/highs section of the amp, same theory. If my speakers are 125 rms, then voltage target is 15.81 or close to it. [/QUOTE]
