4. My amp (jlxd600) says this should register 17.4V - according to JL method.
Are you saying that when this is achieved - the input sensitivity on the amp will be set at a setting where 2V input gives max power??

The Jl Audio gain setting can be used either at the MS-8 calibration or after the calibration. The 2V
input gain is what JBL
suggest at calibration for the aftermarket amp connected to the MS-8.
You could leave the gains at minimum (4V for your XD600/6) or set the gain at the middle setting and calibrate that way. This is not an exact science or a must requirement. Just calibrate with whatever gain level you think will sound fine to you. You could set the gains after calibration as well.
