[QUOTE="HCCAfan, post: 2408, member: 541047"] the only thing gain does is tell your amp at what deck volume to get its full power, so if you have it turned down to the max, it doesnt reach full power, then is it seeing the true 1100 watts? or even if you have it turned half way but turn the deck up to compensate for the loss of volume, have you gained anything? gain is meant to be set at a deck volume that produces no clipping or distortion, so if your deck sounds the best and loudest at 24 on your factory speakers, set your gains on your bass amp till it sounds good and loud but not distorted. thats all that gains do my friend, dont fall into the misbelief that you can go to a comp and turn up the gain to get that extra amound of power needed to win, your amp is only gonna put out so much power total, and your gain just tells it when to get to that level [/QUOTE]
