You need to drive that amp w/ 10 watts no more than 20 , Start w/ Driver tune and key the amp and adjust to max out put then wait a few ( Double the key down time) then key and tune "Load & "Tune" knobs you should W/Good tubes get a 1000 watts then make sure you check your SWR's and make sure your not back Modjing , if you want i've got the Manual for it I'll E-mail it to you........................... I run a D&A Mavrick I Dig it !!

if you go to cbtricks website and go to the amp section there is a complete owners manual for the phantom triple stage wich tunes the same the main difference is the triple stage is 4 driving 6 and yours is 4 driving 8 so if you follow the instructions in the manual you will tune it properly you will see more peak than the manual refers to becouse of your extra 2 tubes.


hope this helps
happy 73's
