[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8439874, member: 665412"] okay let me clarify, because what was said previously isn't a 100% correct and may cause problems. some headunits have a subw out with a 0 to 6/8/10/12 whatever max level is, which is what you set to max when setting gains. other headunits however use an "eq" of sorts and the sub level goes from -6 to +6 or 8 or whatever it is on that headunit. for those headunits you want the subw level set at 0 when you set your gain. things you need to consider: if your car has different subs the rise will be different than his car, causing error. if your car has better electrical and doesnt drop as much voltage you will in turn get better output from the amp. if the wiring is less sufficient in his car or his ground wires are properly cleaned and the right size you will get less output. if your headunit has REAL RMS voltage pre-outs and his are overrated then your car will need less gain.
