[QUOTE="528hz, post: 4312149, member: 581076"] Just wanted to follow up on your ordeal. I just checked out my gains once more to make sure I wasn't clipping my amp at 54 FVCKING VOLTS!!!!! And it runs strong and clean! I set my gains using the same 50 hz tone (-3 db) and let the DMM set there and went up on the hz tones 5 hz at at time. Your right that there is huge difference. Here is a list of the differences AFTER I already set my gains with the 50 hz tones. 35 hz-36.6v 45 hz- 46.7v 50 hz- 54.4v 55 hz- 56.3v 60 hz- 61.7v ( at this point the amp was very mildly starting to clip) 65 hz- 52.1v ( wicked drop in voltage???) Does anyone know why this is? Would this differ from amp to amp to why the readings would vary? Or does it take more power and make your amp work harder to hit higher frequencies? [/QUOTE]
