[QUOTE="Kam311, post: 8585411, member: 673335"] Bro... Where did you come up with this heap of nonsense? lol Your gain should match the head unit voltage. Depending on the voltage being produced by the head unit your gain could be all the way up, or it could be all the way down, but most likely it will be somewhere in between. The proper way to set your gains is with an o-scope or a dd-1 at least. You don't just make it up out of thin air. The gain on the amp isn't the only worry when avoiding clipping either, most head units clip at a certain volume. Mine gets 1 away from max volume before it clips, but some may only get half way. That's another area where an o-scope comes in handy. You find your point of clipping on the head unit first, then you find clipping on the amp gain. And that's your max volume clean [/QUOTE]
