[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8804192, member: 674149"] I had to look up that amp. It is 3,000 w at 1 ohm and 2 ohm, then 2,000w @ 4 ohm. That one would definitely be too much for me. I don't see how dropping the gain would help. I have a DD1 (or whatever is close to that), so I can set my gains correctly. Gains just match the voltage from the head unit to the amp for the best input signal. The gains set properly is just the best way to always set up amps. Unless I'm somehow mistaken, I think of gains as: When you're talking on the phone, the setting is like the distance you hold your phone away from your mouth. If the gain is set low, you are holding the phone farther away, and need to turn up the volume at the head (unit/mouth) to get the same decibel coming through. Hold it to close and you [I]clip,[/I] (again, against your mouth), and you start to distort the signal. The best thing to do is to hold it at the right distance away so its at its clearest, and you take that variable out of the equation. [/QUOTE]
