[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1748026, member: 29724"] test tone is not ideal...you need a pink noise generator and an RTA to do it correctly. here's how I set Gaines. Gaines on amp all the way down....turn volume up to 75-85%%....ensure there is no clipping on input to amp (many amps have a meter built in for this) Then put on many kinds of music and set gains to as high as you can go without clipping with master volume at 75%. Making sure you have your sound stage set....dash is a stage...rear fill. It is an art, not a science. Doing it this way gives you some head room above 75-85%% max volume if you need it (quietly mixed cd for example). Just get a bunch of music you know every beat, every vocal, every strum...and listen to it over and over and tweak until it sounds right to YOUR ears. [/QUOTE]
