[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8023379, member: 587645"] so i have no way to set my gains "correctly" with a test tone until i get a proper headunit. and it got me thinking, why do we set gains with test tones if we listen to music? this is my thought: find a song with a good bassline, set your gains to ~95% of what you think they should be (aka you need to see 50V set it to ~45V). obviously there is something wrong with this thought process, so can someone shead some light for me please? right now i have my gains set very conservativly and im happy, but id like to know if setting gains this way can cause big problems. (keep in mind that in my case i have ~600W of power and 2 subs that can take 1K each) Matt [/QUOTE]
