Pioneer AVH-4600bt sub level

[lifesproduct 10+ year member]

I installed my SoundQubed 2200 today, replacing a Hifonics Glx1400. My hu is 4 volts and when I set the gains with my Dd-1, my gain went almost to 1 o'clock. It just seems a little too high for 4 volts when the scale starts at 5. I know that the scale isn't perfect but it just seems too high. Does anyone know where I should have my sub level on the hu, since it ranges from -15 (i think) to +6. While setting my gains I had it at 0. I'm just curious if that is causing my pre-amp voltage to be lower? Any thoughts, or knowledge on these head units? Thanks in advance!

Sub level max when setting gains.

Thanks Cscstang, I read about alpines needing to be up, but because of the weird scale, I didn't wanna "boost" anything

When you set them with the level maxed you keep the risk down when it comes to clipping.

Btw, Box went in today as well! More than happy with the output compared to the last box I made! You are the man! Thank You for all of your help

hahaha this is cool, but funny as hell! 4V is the absolute max rating. You get that at pretty much full volume with sub-level at max. Btw sub-level control isn't a boost.

I apologize for following instructions, and overall not being as intelligent as you....thanks for all of your input, I don't know where I'd be without it

You read it wrong, no one was coming down on you. No idea why you're apologizing.

It just seemed as you were laughing, as if I didn't have a legitimate question, sorry for jumping the gun!

I was laughing at the green fur, it was funny.

I didn't want to set my gains incorrectly, that is why I went with the less aggressive option....I can always come back and fix that later....but after setting the gain and seeing it so high, it made me start to question how the sub level affected gain.

For most pioneers, you only get 4 volt preout if your sub level is maxed out and the volume very high like 80-90%. Or else you'll be getting around 2 volt pre-out, sometimes less. Sub level for pioneers has nothing to do with bass boost so dont worry on that.
