has nothing to do with rms of subanyone?
yes, 22 voltsI would like to give the speakers some breathing room, so rather than running them at a max of 130 watts, I'd like to run them at a max of 120. Therefore, the formula would be SQRT(120 x 4) for a total of 22 volts rounded up. Is this correct?
1. The HU volume should be around 3/4 of the way up. Though this varies by HU, some add more distortion than others at a given level. The only way to know for sure is with an oscilloscope, so 3/4 up is normally used since most HU's are ok at that level. The EQ I'm not sure of, probably should use the same, 3/4.If so, then the only issues remaining are the following:
1. When setting the volume, I have two volume knobs, the one on the head and the one on the EQ. what should I set each of them to?
2. This is not a subwoofer, these are component speakers (tweeter + woofer), so what test tone should I get and where can I get it?
3. After completing the above, what should I be using as a volume knob from now on? the volume on the head? or on the EQ?
One final question; my head says it has a preamp voltage of 4 volts. Does this affect anything? What about the 22 watts RMS the head unit puts out without the amp?
Thanks for your help
Thanks.just use the hu volume, can still use the EQ but adjust it when the volume is like half way up so you don't get clipping
