[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 6156821, member: 596464"] The tone from [URL="http://www.ronelmm.com/tones/"]http://www.ronelmm.com/tones/[/URL] should fit in with "most" modern era music since I hardly see anything recorded with an RMS louder than -6 dB. The test tone from ROE should allow you more headroom since it is extremely rare to see music with an RMS level of -3 dB. On the flip side, you may notice that your subwoofers are not playing loud enough to suit you. Of course, setting gains with a DMM is still no guarantee that you will not clip your amplifier or blow your speakers. In fact, it doesn't really even get you in the ballpark, unless your ballpark encompasses the distance between the planets Earth and Pluto. As for your wire issue, only you can do what looks best for your setup. I never seem to complete an install so I just hide my wires as best as possible.
