[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8692032, member: 650438"] skip all that multi-meter nonsense because you dont know what the actual clean amount of power than amp has because power acoustik doesn't do rated or anywhere close so you dont even know what number to shoot for. Play your hardest hitting song, raise the gain up till its not getting louder, now lower it a notch or two. Check for heat on the sub's cone and amp when you play for a minute to 10 minutes, keep checking up on it. If its warm and getting warmer, lower your gains slightly until its room temperature to slightly above room temp. You can also do a little 3 dollar piezo tweeter method like this which is far more reliable than a multi-meter [MEDIA=youtube]IFc5WRMsEV8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
