Setting gain with out voltimeter?

[aek 10+ year member]

Just got my AMP in and I can't seem to get my hands on an AC Voltimeter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif Is there any way to set the gain with out damaging my speakers? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

start at the lowest gain setting... set the HU where you would usually

listen to it and SLOWLY turn the gain up until it looks like the subs

are performing comfortably and you are happy with the output...

but you really cant substitute for a nice voltmeter... ive got one hooked

up to my amp all the time because some music puts out radically different

voltages... i.e. there is a big difference in how far you can push your volume

playing lil jon vs. how far you can turn your volume playing like a poorly

produced rock album... or sh1tty MP3...

When you do get it. Make sure you set it using a test tone not music.

Other than that, You can only play the loudest bass heavy song you have and turn it up manualy untill you notice distortion.

u just use an ordinary multimeter hooked up or do the make something that is meant to stay hooked to the amp so it doesnt look ugly and out-of-place
