[QUOTE="pjhabit, post: 5710287, member: 597083"] Well...it still sounds like you don't understand. The gain is used to match the preout voltage of your HU. When pulling the max clean power from your amp, the gain setting will be the same no matter what the power handling of your speakers are. Just as a reference, my gains were set ~25% & anything above ~40% was severely clipping (my hu had 4v preouts).You might have a better understanding than I give you credit for. But the way you worded things made me suspect. I tightened the leads to the speaker plug (red +, black -), then plugged them into the amp. [/QUOTE]
