Default Added a second amp

So, I added in a Rockford tm400X2 to go along with my tm400X4. All 4 hertz are on the 4 channel, the 6x9s on the 2 channel. Threw the dsr1 back in and started to play a bit. Here is something I found, and maybe this will help someone else. Volume cranked on my aquatics give me 4 volt out (iirc). However, if I set the dsr1 input voltage to 4v+, it only pauses through about 2 volts Val, I started playing with the settings in the dsr1, and I found if I lie to it, and say I have 2.5v going in, it ramps it up and I get 4v out. So, I set the gains with a DVOM, and not the clip lights using a 1000k tone at -10 dB. Preliminary results are much improved. I haven’t done any eq adjustments, but so far so good. I did set the gains for the rear Rockford 6x9s to 125 watts on paper, as they are rated at 100 watts rms, so I don’t want to jam 200 into them. Regardless, the fairing is pretty stuffed now. This is more or less how it physically ended up being, and the outer fairing is back on.
