drpa config confusion

ok, i got the drpa settings for my yamaha club v and rmx amps. sense its gonna be a bit before i get my sls920s i want to make the most out of my rig. the only confusing thing is when it comes to the amp attenuator settings, dbx said i need to set the attenuators to 37% now it that 37% as a numerical value, or looking at the range of movement in the knob itself 37% of the way up? anyone who uses rmx amps and the drpa recommended settings let me know where do your knobs end up?
the table that i was sent says
low: rmx1450 yamaha sw218v
high pass: 35.5 hz
slope: 18bw
gain: -8.4db
low pass: 90hz
slope: LR24
high: rmx2450 and yamaha s215v
high pass: 90 hz
slope: LR24
gain: -9.4db
limiter:on
overeasy: 4
threshold: 18db
amp setting
input voltage: 1.4v
attenuator: 37%
im not using the wizard, my drpa, has an older version of the software, and i dont have time, to send it back to them and have them take several weeks to turn it around. so they sent me manual settings. so if i were to run the attenuators up to 100% instead of the 37%, what should i set my limiters to? is there anything else i will need to change? my drpa honestly has been set up pretty much like this, excpet my limiters are set to hard limit and the threshold is i do believe set at like -11 db on the subs and -9 on the tops and the crossover gains are set at -4 on both the high and lows and the x-over point is 160hz not 90hz.
i always seem to be running out of gas far before i really should be with my tops, i mean running out of gas by meaning i hit the limiter hard, but i have let up on them and i run the risk of sending the amps into clip, with where the limiters are now the amps never clip. i dont usually have time to mess with the system before shows, and i dont have any time when im not at shows, so wanted a good starting point with the drpa wiz settings, from dbx, so i can hopfully tune things in really fast with some minor changes. so anywhoo any help will be appriciated. i have to make this rig work for the next 4 to 6 weeks untill i get my new tops, but even them the amps will be the same, for another few months until i can make the next upgrade in amps and speakers both.
