[QUOTE="funkyab, post: 5551583, member: 556232"] using a DMM is the most basic way to make sure that you are matching your input voltages and sending your subs the correct amount of clean power. More than likely one of your friends or neighbors has one that you can borrow. If not.. they can be bought for around 20 dollars (USD) and if need be you could always buy one and then return it after you set your gains. setting your gain on "nominal" does not mean anything and you could still be giving your drivers inapproriate power. The gain setting tutorial is very easy to follow and you will not regret it. When i was a noob I thought i had everything set up properly and was popping and buring out speakers left and right. Once properly configured though,, i have not had a single problem. [/QUOTE]
