[QUOTE="95BlackGA, post: 2967488, member: 576452"] I agree with everything said, but the gain setting part. The only reason why you would have to set the gains with the volume at 3/4 is if that is at peak performance with out any distortion. Some headunits can go full volume with peak perfomance, and not distort, other can't even go up to 1/2, it all depends on the settings that are at peak performance without distorting, and the best way to set the gains with a DMM is to put the headunit at your MAX normal listening volume, as long as it isn't distorting, and with your EQ set to normal listening curves, because if you add bass from the headunit, you're just giving a slightly more distorted signal.
