im still a little confused ....
i read the sticky and watched the video but i get confused at the end when hes talking about tones ... "1 khz tone for 99 % of builds on this forum. I advise using the -5 db tone for some gain overlap"
what the heck does that mean ?? LOL im lost as to which tone in supposed to be using in the link that he attached.
also .. how do i play the tone ? open it on my phone and connect it with bluetooth to the head unit to play the tone ??

the overlap refers to music being recorded less than 0db so if u tune at a 0db (louder signal) when u play normal music (-5db for ex) after u set gains it will be too low than what u want for the output. Recorded music will never be at a 0db signal strength. Hope that helps

actually, when you use a -5 you are setting the gains at a lower output tone. If your music is at 0db you will be clipping. Its called gain overlap. How is that being safe?
