Hey, i read tons of the tutorial and gain threads, but one quick question. The threads say to turn off all bass boost, etc at the head unit. I have a pioneer 6800, and i set the bass flat, and turned it to the mid 30's for volume. My question is regarding the "loudness" feature. I always have this on, so if i turned it off to set the gains, i would blowout the speakers. So i left it on, and set the gains with the DMM, and turned everything back on, and it seemed really quiet. I had to turn the bass to plus 4 with 657 watts. Any advice? It sounds cleaner, i just wanted to make sure i did it right.
