[QUOTE="Johnny Law.Lulz, post: 6441288, member: 600906"] First: I set my gains the simple way, I do the easiest first which is set the H/U to my max listening volume ( 30 on my Alpine, goes to 35 ) and turn gain till i hear bottoming out, etc. then back off enough to where that goes away, Then i let it play at that setting for a few minutes to see how hot the sub will get or wait for smells. Never blown a sub this way. Second: To the guy that said gains should never be over 3/4, your again wrong, Gains depend on voltage both from electrical and pre-outs on the unit, how high you turn the bass boost up ( which i dont think you should ever do ) so like bubba said, you cant just throw some random number out. OP: If you using stock deck which i think i read that you were, i suggest trying a line driver to get your pre-outs higher. Just search that and you'll see what im talking about. [/QUOTE]
