[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 1992200, member: 551352"] listen man, heres the deal. dont use a 0db test tone. with subwoofers you can use a -6db tone and be safe. i use -6db for subs and -3 for speakers since music isnt a straight 0db tone. it jumps up and down all over the ****ing place. 1- grab a 50hz -3 or -6db test tone (choose which one you want, -6db obviously is gonna give you more bass) 2- hook up the dmm 3- set volume to the max you listen to (which should be before it clips) 4- turn gain up until you reach your desired voltage, which i believe you wrote was 50v's right? thats it. this way you arent wasting power from the amplifier cause your gains are set so low for music. simple as that. if i didnt make sense read the gain setting tutorial, Jmac isnt an idiot, he knows what hes talkin about [/QUOTE]
