[QUOTE="zako, post: 8116741, member: 629735"] You don't have to set speaker gain with DMM. Just don't do stupid things like trying to experiement "how hard your speakers hit". Besides, there is no good verification that the speaker will handle the rated power. Just use them to enjoy the music. Personally, I wouldn't mind running the components without bridging. Most of components with very high power ratings will still bottom out (hit back plate) on their rated power or often less unless you set your high pass to an unusually high frequency. The F300 is rated for 4x50watts, but I have seen tests showing they're underrated and will give you something like 4x65watts at 4ohm with 14.4V. Even if your voltage is lower, it's guaranteed that you should get at least 50clean watts on each channel without bridging. On the other hand, like I said, there should be no harm done when bridging. I don't like bridging class A/B amps as many run a lot hotter, but i believe F300 is class D, so it should do fine. [/QUOTE]
