So, I already know how to set gains on an amplifier by ear. I don't have any Oscilloscopes on hand, and I'm just testing the amplifier to see if it works, so it doesn't have to be perfect.
To set gains by ear, you would, using the most basic strategy, set your HU to 75% volume and turn up the gain until the speakers distort. This can get very loud - not a problem.
My only concern is, I would ideally set the gains using the speakers that I'm going to be using, but something tells me blaring my brand new components isn't the best thing to do right out the box. Should I be worried about this when it comes time to test my amplifier?
Thanks,
Ryan
