[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2064896, member: 555320"] And you just proved why you should not be giving advice on anything related to audio. The gain setting should be set in relation to the voltage input of the amplifier. The amplifier can and will output full RMS power with a gain setting set to anywhere within it's range, depending on the voltage input from the headunit. This means that, depending on the voltage input from the headunit, it can output full RMS power with THE GAIN TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN. It is not as simple as "if the speakers can handle the full power of the amp, turn the gain all the way up." You, my friend, are completely wrong. Please refrain from posting any information related to audio. Frankensuby, do you have or have access to a DMM? While some people don't like the DMM method for setting speakers, it provides good starting point especially for a novice such as yourself. [/QUOTE]
