[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 1778752, member: 562649"] If you follow the gain setting tutorial step by setp you will be fine. The easiest to use is on JL's website [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com"]www.jlaudio.com[/URL] You will probably need to turn the DMM to 200 on the AC votage. At least that's what I used IIRC. Read the directions on the DMM to know for sure. THe other settings on your amp have noting to do with the gain. Unless you low pass the sub on your headunit, then you will need to use the LP on the amp. Start low and play with it till you like it. The voice coils have resestance which can be measured on your DMM too. Use the ohms setting (looks like omega). But you don't need to worry about it, just use the nominal impedance that RE says it is (dual 4 ohms). [/QUOTE]
