[QUOTE="chris229, post: 38248, member: 542614"] I know sucks. you have to estimate but its a SLOPE anyway you don't match gain on your AMP 1/1. Meaning if the HU is 8v you wouldn't set the amp for 8v. What you want is an OVERLAP. You either what a 3/1 or a 10dB overlap. Meaning you use a 0dB test tone and find the highest voltage of your hu then you set your amp for an overlap of that. So lets say you get 8v unclipped. You want a 3/1 so you set the AMP for 2.66v OR you use a -10dB test tone and you set you amp for a 1/1 of the HU that way when a 0dB signal play you will be overlaping by 10dBI would set them for HI so you cut the bass a lose the distortion from the highs BUT Its up to you and the HI setting might leave a hole in the sound.
