[QUOTE="zoltman1991, post: 8877726, member: 691561"] Alrighty. JD1000.1 pushing 15" Kicker CVX, with LC2i 1000 x 2 = 2000. sqrt2000 = ~44.7 = target voltage So I: -75% volume 50hz test tone -Set LC2i just a hair before 'maximized' light turns on. -Set amp gain to hit 44ish. (ALSO - do I set inputs to low level when running from LC2i? - is this where my issue lies?) BUT, if I set gain to hit the clipping indicator light on the amp itself, the voltage reaches like 75. Should I keep it at the gain to where the voltage is at 44? Or would I be greatly underpowering them? A little confused why these two numbers would be vastly different - target voltage v. clipping light voltage. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
