[QUOTE="gimling, post: 8399379, member: 665148"] You got to realize something your preout rating is at max volume, its always best to use a multimeter to at least get a voltage of what your deck is really putting out, i had an oscope so i was able to set mine right before clipping, on my pioneer 4100 Nex it was 40 of 40 when it would clip fine at 39 and i measured 3.7Volts which rated on pioneer website is 4 volts, so pretty accurate. Without a DMM and an Oscope your generally safer goin at 3/4 max volume and adjusting by ear to change in your sub sound. its pretty distinct if your running a 50hz-60hz constant tone. if i remember right the voltage out of my preouts didnt hit 3 volts till iwas at 34 of 40, so just setting it at 4 volts on the amp your not maximizing your potential.
