[QUOTE="zoltman1991, post: 8877880, member: 691561"] Ok. I have tried many times. I got it to where I want to be, but the voltage was reading higher than my target. I want to protect my speakers and ensure longevity. I have a JD1000.1 with a 15" CVX at 2ohms, with an LC2i. This is what I have done: -50hz test tone 75% to set LC2i just before maximized light turns on. -Acubess threshold down/Acubass level down (I tested it, no roll off. Consistent increase) -Then I check voltage at amp. -WITH GAIN all the way down, I am reading about 56. -My target should be about 44.7 (1000x2=2000. sqrt(2000) = 44.7. -Amp input is set to low input. BUT THE CLIPPING light on the amp triggers WELL above the 56 number - probably around 76. What is going on? If I truly set it to where the voltage is at 44.7, this speaker is well underpowered. I upgrade from 400w into a 12", and it was less than that. What am I missing here? Can I trust the clipping light? Can I run at a voltage higher than 44.7 if clipping light doesn't activate?
