[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8423368, member: 665412"] you're right, and on the right track. However, setting your gain with a DMM is going to likely leave some power on the table, and only works if you know the actual output of the amp is rated properly - in your case it is, kicker amps aren't bad. without an oscope, clipping indicator, or distortion meter you wont be able to set the amp 100% accurately, so the best method is to use your ears and then i liked to verify i was in the right range by checking my voltage, if it was exceedingly high i would assume it was clipped and exceedingly low i must of set the gain wrong.
