Ive heard that 75% is good and Ive heard that all the way up is the way to go. I would do the 75% as some have said that HU can distort signal at full vol. So as long as you know not to turn it up past that certain point you should be all set. But if you let other people drive you car (kids) it may not be such a great idea.

Are you worried that your CD8445 would clip, bdawson? From the testing I've read, they don't start clipping even in worse case conditions until over 70/80..

Stock speakers at current settings sount like complete crap at from about 18 up on some songs, to about 20 up on other songs on my 9856 head unit. I hover at about 14-16/35

i cant tell if there is much distortion cuz its so **** loud but everything is running off an amp with the gains set right..
Usually i will hover around 25-28 but when i want the bass to kick in hard i pump it up to 30 and try not to go higher then that
