Linedriver Question

Post by dwnrodeo »

This may be a dumb question but I plan on powering a RSDC 124 off of my X600.1. I am getting ready to set the line driver voltage and I see that you increase the voltage per channel until the speaker begins to distort then back it down a bit.
My question is, how do you set each channel independantly if there is only one speaker? Do you use a DMM to set the gains the same? Would increasing one channel at a time damage the woofer? Help please.

iirc you measure the voltage at the line driver, then the sens on the amp (if nessicary)

the xenon's can take about 13 volts comfertably, so i would see how much voltage you can crank out of your line driver without clipping first and see if you even need to adjust the amp's gain (mine is at 0 with 10 volts from the tld66)

If you want to make sure they're set the same, yes, use a DMM. But you should be able to set it by eye, having the gains a small bit different won't damage anything.
