Sounds like a lot! and I'm 1000+ miles behind you.

Good job!

Update on the scoping of the P-01...

Off the RCAs into the amps we run 6.3 Volts of unbalanced signal maxed out at 1kHz. There's something interesting I'm seeing though. The higher I go up the lower the voltage. All my EQs are flat, T/A is off...everything is flatlined.

Now onto the gains...

It appears that at 4 Volts at the RCA the L4 is seeing 127 Watts on both sides at "max". I want to set the levels at 4 Volts because of the possibility of EQ boost at top end that I might want. What I'm seeing is that the deck likes to taper the voltage off slightly on both ends (bass and tweeter ranges). At full tilt boogie (volume 62) at the 6.3 volts the ends drop around .5 to 1 Volt on either end. When I lower the volume to 60 it is a little over 4 Volts on a 1 kHz tone. I figure this is safe to set the gains to...

The L1 Pro SEs are seeing 114 Watts at 4 Volts with an 8 kHz tone at my "max"...

The ML3800 is seeing 823 watts at 4 Volts with a 40 Hz tone at my "max"...

I was really hoping for a deck that would be even with it's Voltage output. What I'm hearing from the shop owner is that this isn't uncommon though. He said he sees this in a lot of high Voltage decks.

I found this, and thought it was interesting but don't know how much of attention it's getting from professionals.

Threads like these are the very reason why i got into installs in the first place.

I can't wait till you finish, it's going to be killer. You'll definitely pull in trophies, especially with that kind of attention to the smallest of details.

Wish you lived in the Seattle area, *tear* it's just so beautiful. Really wish i had you around when i was starting my install. Definitely something you're going to be proud of for the rest of your life.

OH NO!... I got dibs on John, been trying to sweetly convince him to help me out for the past year.

We could work on the Yaris for the weekend. I warn you though, you MUST have a grill, cause I like to throw steaks on after working on systems.

dude, i'm moving to Dexter (highway 58 near creswell) and will have a garage for the first time in 2 years. Single car/bay but oh well, its a garage. Yes, we have a lil weber grill, and its capable of doing steaks, just tuesday I cooked my first steak ever on it... wasn't bad, though I should've flipped the thing a bit sooner. The place will have 2 big bedrooms and a living room, we just craigslisted a loveseat/couch combo yesterday that will go nice. One of the bedrooms will be come the study/HT room.

I'd love to get some work done on it next spring once I get back from DPSST.
