I have this kind of equipment:
I don't have the slightest idea how to set gains. Each part in my equipment has it's own gain knob.
My speakers (Cerwin-Vega XLS-12) are 6 ohms each and can handle 150W RMS and 300W peak. Power-amp gives 2x240W RMS to 8 ohms and 2x440W to 4 ohms. How should I set power-amp's gain? When I set power-amp gain to 3/4, it sounds good, but gets loud, when I set receivers volume above 3.
And about the Line-out converter... It also has it's own gain knobs for each channels. I don't recognize it has any effect to the volume, until the volume suddenly goes to zero at one point, at either directions of the knobs. Also, the input signal indicator of EQ and power-amp doesn't light up, until very, very, very loud listening levels.
How should I adjust all the gains for most optimal result. Also, is there any risk that I damage my speakers when experimenting with my equipment, things I should avoid etc. ?
