[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8157053, member: 560148"] Only in car audio are gains set by O-scope. Gains if being done for a real setup that plays music, should be set by ear. The point of a gain is to match various speakers in SPL relative to one another, not to run everything everything to it's max unclipped output. Also, 99% of cars, without any clipping are quiet if you play good music wih dynamic range. So no, a good shop, unless they are doing SPL builds has no real need for an O-scope for gain setting, it's not rocket science and your ears and common sense will do a better job than a O-scope since it's the actual acoustic output you should be concerned with. Even if your going to run around blaring bass head music all day, you'll generally get more output with some clipping than without, and unless your already overpowering the woofer that's generally pretty safe to do.
