    I'm sorry you've lost me. How can you be certain that it was working properly, but also be uncertain as to the levels? The latter determines the former.

    Just a thought, but did you have the gain structure set up correctly when using the dbx? In other words, when listening to music were you lighting up some/most of the input & output LEDS on the unit?

    Thanks Earl! According to the dimensions it's a 1003b horn. No wonder these things weigh a ton as they are considerably larger than the 1005b's.
