[QUOTE="Stel, post: 3489800, member: 574698"] yes, 22 volts 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. 2. 1000Hz should be fine. It looks like the tones that where linked from here are missing. Anyone feel like upping them again? 3. Use the HU volume. 4. The reason amps have a gain setting is to match the various levels coming from headunits, so the 4v preout won't be a problem. The 22watts RMS from the HU comes out on a different set of wires (the speaker leads) and will be unused. You can turn your HU's internal amp off if it has a setting for that. This thread has some gain setting info too: [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=164826"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164826[/URL] Also see the sticky at the top of this forum: [URL="http:////forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9[/URL] All in all you shouldn't be able to blow these speakers with that amp if your not hearing any distortion. Though being new to CA you might not realize you are hearing distortion until it is too late, it can be relatively (to what your used to hearing) subtle. [/QUOTE]
