kirill007 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 gain settings (stickied in ampifiers) look at post 47 EDIT:don't do this^^^^^. Do what Decaf said, waaay easier, forgot it had a clipping light. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
Decaf Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 use the gain knob that came with the amp, turn it to 3/4 full turn turn up a very common song u play alot and know well, a song that sounds as loud as most other songs go back to the amp, and turn up the gain until u see the clipping light on the gain knob just barely flicker done... if u see it stay solid red and blink a shit ton, just turn the knob down till its barely blinking very very easy to do... no dmm needed, no calculations so u dont need that thread the above member posted
mwerling1212 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Dj talked me through this the same way Decaf stated it. the only other thing you should do is make sure you use an actual cd not an ipod when setting the amp.
Torres Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 unless you play from the ipod primarily (like me). i tuned to a cd, played from my ipod and the signal got boosted somethin fierce and i broke some things. just fyi. now i tune from my ipod as my cd player is quieter, and i never use it except once in a blue moon. just check the EQ settings on the ipod before you do
