Another gain setting question

Amp gain = sqrt((speaker load)x(impedance))

In this equation is the speaker load the RMS power or the Maximum power?

rms you want the amp to output

clipping is bad...sounds like @$$ and leads to equipment damage

so there is like a "sweet" spot for the gain to be set at?

there is a max spot per amp rating

the sweet spot is the amount of current you want at a certain impedance.

If you want to blow your amp and or sub by all means crank dat gain batman and dont forget the bass boost.
