[QUOTE="jdawg, post: 6100312, member: 568776"] there is alot of nisinformation in this thread lol. Let me throw this out too. You could have an amp over rated to do 1000w and really does 700w, set the gain to 1000w should make it put out a clipped to hell signal. You could have an amp rated 1000w but really do 1500w, set it to 1000w and you will never see that 1500w, so that would make under reated amps pretty useless going by the dmm method. There really are too many variables. I will tell most people who are noobs to just use a dmm. I usaully start with a dmm and I may end up bumping it up a lil. I have never blown subs up. The only real way to do it is with an oscilloscope. Really if you have amps or subs that cant handle a little clip here and there then they are shit and you need to start over anyway [/QUOTE]
