[QUOTE="pwnt by pat, post: 1810941, member: 556604"] It depends. On my amps, I have one gain per channel. Most amps have one gain per set of channels. If you have one gain for both left/right, then set the gain on one channel and it will be the same on both. If you're talking about the rf2002 in your sig, run a 1khz tone. Set your dmm range to 00.00 and set it to: sqrt(50 * 2) = 10 volts However, for your front speakers, it's easier and more benefitial to set it by ear. Set your head unit to max uncliped volume and turn the gain up from 0 until you start to hear distortion or the speaker under stress. Then back it off a little bit. Chances are you are going to adjust the gain down anyway to blend in with your substage. [/QUOTE]
