Setting the gains, good to go?

[Myster 10+ year member]

I am getting ready to set the gains of the two amps with the voltmeter and want to verify the voltage settings.

US Amps IS 4085

Power: 85w x 4 @ 4ohm

Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

Sqrt (85*4) = 18.439 volts

Elemental Designs Nine.2x

Power: 600w x 1 @ 4ohm

Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

Sqrt (600*1) = 24.49 *2 = 48.98 volts

Thanks.

Looks good man...remember these numbers will vary with votage and actual amp output....so use your ears too!!

Thanks for the heads up....I was going to tune the voltage in with the voltmeter as a baseline and then tweek as needed.

thanks again.
