[QUOTE="fixinit, post: 8537513, member: 670893"] Yeah, it's an 8 year old PA amp. I'm surprised I was able to get the thing working as well as it is atm after gutting the board from the case. Time will tell if it holds up. I finally got around to your yt upload and this dB stuff makes a lot of sense from a tuning angle now. I'm under the impression that the "safest approach" to setting the gain for every music genre on the planet would be with a 0dB test tone so not to put too much strain on the alternator when peaks hit. If it's too low for classical or rock or too much for dubstep or rap, adjust the HU's equalizer accordingly. This brings me to another point. I ditched the HU's loudness off and turned it [dirty power] on again then reset my amp's gain. This has already helped my behind-the-wheel control when I'm flipping from CDs of choice to talk radio or even Pop radio stations. [/QUOTE]
