I used to think that the gain control was a power adjustment on how much power the amp pushes out. but now i know its just htere to match with the reciever??right?. well, if this is true, how do i know how to properly match the gain with my deck. i will try n get the specs of my deck soon

there are lots of ways. Visit bcae1.com and get your self an Oscope ;)

good lord .... an o'scope ? you can get what you need to match the gains for like $50 or less

oscopes are fun though LOL

you can get what you need to match the gain for free, as long as you have an internet connection and a cd burner

well yea, I guess you don't NEED the little amp/speaker box I use, and the voltage divider - but it makes it easier.

nor do you need an oscope, but it makes it easier :)
