[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 6275932, member: 603800"] I went to set my gains with my new DMM today and pretty much gave up. I had to turn the gain up so high on the amp to get the voltage I calculated. I know I calculated correctly. I did sqrt(wattage*speaker impedance). I ended up re-setting them by ear and they sound great. The 136V's don't really handle too much mid bass, they're only 5.25s but they do play most of it decently. I really only have issues with them when I'm playing bass music like Bass Mechanics or something. Since I don't listen to that, I'm not worried. They rock with the Chili Peppers, Incubus, Rage, Sublime, and so on. I just figured I'd post this up because some of you helped me out with figuring out how to properly set my gains and for those who maybe cared about how I did it, here you go. [/QUOTE]
