In the interest of protecting the system, wouldn't it make more sense to either use 100% of source output volume or decrease the target voltage to 75% when setting the gain?
Or, is setting the gain at 75% of source volume an exercise with sound quality as the goal?
Hopefully no one is getting too frustrated by these questions. Just trying to understand what the ultimate goal is for setting an amp up this way.

Gotcha. The objective is clear now. Thanks!
I'll be reassembling everything tonight and getting ready for my trip to the mountains on Friday.
Hopefully no more stumbling blocks finishing things up.
Again, I appreciate it guys.

I've got everything in, but I'm not sure I've got the amp set right. Either it's quiet, or I'm more deaf than I thought.
I set the output for 21 VAC with a 1kHz test tone. That was based on sqrt (220W x 2 ohms) = 20.97V.
Can someone with more audio knowledge than me double check that?
Maybe I just need a good audiologist...

Could I have screwed something up with the BT355? That seemed like a pretty straight forward plug in operation. No adjustment needed?
It also seems like the setup lacks bass. I know these are only 6.5 inch speakers, but I would've expected a little more than what I'm getting.
On the amp:
1. The crossover switch is set to "Full"
2. The "sensitivity" was adjusted to give me 21 VAC
3. I didn't adjust the "frequency".
Any thoughts on what I can check here?
