Gallo Reference 3 SA Owners

Just received my Gallo amp today and am curious as to where you are setting the volume control. The manual isn't very helpful. It just says to do it by ear. I'd like to know if there is a sweet spot where it sounds best. The amp is being used with a pair of Quicksilver 60 watt mono blocks and the Gallo 3.1's.

Bostonbean, your SA volume controls are set at zero? How do you get any sound out of it that way?

I'm running my volume controls at approx. 1 o'clock. The amps are custom SET monoblocks.

I just checked the manual again, Bostonbean, and I can't figure out where you're getting that. We're not talking about the Booster Control but the volume (Level) controls.

Well sure, but the point is that you do have to advance the two level controls from the "Min" (zero) position to get anything out of the amp at all. Your contention that these controls work as tone controls is true insofar only as the SA operates as a LOW BASS control as you advance the level settings. I mean, it's just a subwoofer amp and that's its job.
