[QUOTE="FML, post: 8334196, member: 630747"] Yeah i made sure all my settings were flat, other than the subwoofer level (0-15)since its a Kenwood. I leave that all the way up. When the RCAs were tested, they put out about 2 volts each. The l7 15 is 1000rms, 2000 watt peak. Im running probably right at 1000, maybe a tad bit more since im using an older RF power elite b.d amplifier. I bought the scope because ever since i wired the woofer to 1ohm to this amp, iv gotten odd smells. Most Everyone on here told me i was most likely clipping. Could you explain the deal about matching head unit voltage? My understanding is that'd you just subtract those volts (in my case 4v) from your amps output when setting gain. I skipped that and just set it where its at since the wave was perfect. Also, im just 7using standard test leads, but iv heard about o scope "probes" that are used? [/QUOTE]
