[QUOTE="Psyence, post: 1174596, member: 562684"] No one is replying to my question in the Amp forum, so i will repost something similar here. I went ahead and bought another Type-R locally last night, and today I picked up a nice DMM... Going by the RMS rating of 750-800W or so for my amp as per Custel in this forum, I should be looking for a reading of 40v (800W) its a MRD-M1005 rated at 1000W RMS... So anyways, I got the deck (Alpine, with the Sub Level @ +15 as recommended by many many Alpine deck owners) I have the bass boost on 0. Sub Sonic Filter at 30hz Unplugged one speaker wire Attached the DMM Turned the deck to 26 Played a 45hz test tone Adjusted the gain so that it read 39.something, cant remember exactly. Plugged in the speaker wire, put in a music CD and WOAH. Its fricken loud, too loud, you can hear its totally straining the sub?? If I turn the sub volume down to like 8-10 it sounds loud, and great. SO basically what I want to know is... will this guarantee me not to clip the signal? Cause I will never have the sub output to +15, cause its just too much for the sub. Anyone? [/QUOTE]
