[QUOTE="BallerKirb112, post: 426092, member: 549950"] The gain setting does not control the wattage going to the amp. All it is is a sensitivity adjuster. It adjusts the output sensitivity. It is used in "phasing" your system. In order to do this, turn the gain and bass boost all the way down. Then, adjust the volume on your head unit to 3/4 volume (ex. if the max volume your head unit goes to is 40, then set the volume to 30) The speakers being powered by the amp will not be putting out a lot of volume at this time. Then, SLOWLY increase the gain untill you hear distortion. When you reach the poaint when you begin top hear distortion, turn the gain down a tad untill there is no more distortion. If you have anymore questions, email me at [URL="mailto:"]BallerKirb112@caraudio.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
