Default Gain setting on new system



Hi, just completed install on 10 ultra of jvc headunit, SS pn1000 amp and mmats 601.8 in lowers.
mmats are bridged and in parallel on rear channel. Fronts are kappas for now.
initially set with dmm 17.3 vac front and 28.3 on the rear. Intend to adjust by ear but wonder if process is different due to the bridged ,parallel config.
also had heard in past threads about leaving this amps crossovers “flat”
if this is the case do you still set crossovers in the head unit?
just looking to best integrate the two sets of speakers.
btw thanks BB , Yoop and SBates for parts and assistance. Lota work but install turned out great ...for a newbie

Man I would never bridge parallel anything except inside bag speakers, you just lose to much of the presense you're trying to achieve.

Can you explain that a little more?

If you bridge two speakers off of channels 3 & 4 you have a mono output to those speakers.
