[QUOTE="subzero, post: 7471445, member: 600350"] test the RCA voltage with a dmm set in ac settings. if it is a true 2vout, then you should see 2v. playing test tone of 60hz. Once you confirmed that you have 2v, you should step it down a notch till you read like 1.8v. That should prevent clipping. Now you can hook up the rcas to the sub amp and begin setting the gain. turn up the gain till you notice the distortion. It wont get any louder, but it will get more clipped. Thats where an oscope comes in. which is why I siad 1.8v That should be sufficient to keep it from clipping. too much [/QUOTE]
