[QUOTE=">>SQL<<, post: 7549211, member: 633661"] With my JL Audio amps setting the gain with a DMM is easy as Jl tells you exectly what voltage to set it at. SO with my new RF amp I downloaded the manual and here are the instructions for setting the gain. ADJUSTING GAIN To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down (counter-clockwise).Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible.This will be about all the way up on most source units. Next, increase the amplifier gain setting until adequate volume is achieved. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting. NOTE:Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with the gain at minimum. Most users find adequate gain and volume is achieved at about halfway in the adjustment range. ok - not real helpful at all. Amp is a RF T10001BD Birthsheet is around 1,500 watts I am running my subs at 1 ohm What should I do? [/QUOTE]
