[QUOTE="neil4374, post: 8570668, member: 671511"] After along time of installing my set up. I about to embark on setting up the amp for the first time. Now, I have researched this and understand it pretty well. However I have a question relating to this and running speakers in. All the guides I have read have said to set the head unit volume first with the amp gain very low.When I hear distortion to back off the volume to the sound is good. Then on with the amp gain and do that, I understand this however my friend told me not to go over 50% volume or gain so as not to damage the speakers. How can I set up the system without going over 50% volume on the head unit or 50% gain on the amp? Is it acceptable to set it up going over 50% and then reduce it for a few months till the speakers are run in or is the 50% an absolute must? Thanks [/QUOTE]
