Distortion with new amplifier
#11
Yeah John since it was his first amp I didn't want to over do it with the 3000D. Need a little experience to install the PA 3000D. As you know that RZ4.2000 will drive the hell out of his speakers with minimal distortion. The kenwood just doesn't have enough power for the Titan II speakers. His Polks and Titan II speakers will scream with the RZ4.2000.

Distortion with new amplifier
Last question before wrapping up. I adjusted the gains by ear and heard very little distortion with gains turned down. Ended up have both of them at the 1100 position. I decided to tune with a dmm but no matter what I set the gain to it's the same voltage. Am I doing something wrong? I posted a picture for reference with gain set to minimum.

11:00 with those speakers and your HU is perfect with that amp. I only know this because I have installed so many of them with those speakers. You should be able to turn your stereo up to 30 with 0 distortion at that setting. With that amp and those speakers it should be louder than your ears can stand. I always set my gains by ear.

you need Vac (200V setting), the first one after the OFF on your DDM.
