i think the whole method came about to keep noobs from using the gain as a volume knob.
Thinking the gain is set perfectly because it was set with a o-scope or smd toy (whatever that’s called). Less likely someone will adjust their gain if they are told it was set with a scope = Less fd up equipment.
Just for the record I’ve had 500 watt and less rms rated subs on my current amp In my work truck. All I needed was a screw driver. Lots of people use amplifiers that are rated much higher than their drivers. It’s a good idea too. Amp doesn’t have to work that hard never getting close to clipping with a good source signal.
To each their own. No right or wrong just trust my judgement and set up with music (which is what I listen to).
Drank that kook aid before just to see. Kinda a waste of time to me anyway.
Anyway you can tone down an amp. Your old amp overheating is a sign that your gain might of been set too high also.
