[QUOTE="linksyz, post: 5710030, member: 554934"] I know that DMM does not read watts but voltage which is calculated by using watts and ohms so essentially you can say that DMM reads certain wattage depending on the corresponding voltage you get after plugging in said wattage in the formula. Thank you for explaining the other part to me, I didn't know that. I realize that max gain does not equal max clean power from the amp... thats why people always say get amp that can provide more power than your speakers can handle so you the gains are not set all the way up thus providing a cleaner signal. Don't worry... I'm not that big of a newb or a jacka$$ to burn up my stuff just like that... Thanks for the eggroll website I'll check it out at home as I can't open it at work... When you set your gains on PDX amps... did you plug in your DMM in the speaker plug or directly into the amp? I just plugged in the DMM leads into the speaker plug without tightening it and I didn't get any reading from the DMM [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
