[QUOTE="loz88, post: 8595132, member: 673607"] Hey guys I did the method where I calculate the gain to set my amp to using my multimeter. The sub is 125rms at 4ohm and the amp can do 200rms at 4ohm. Now I did the calculation using 125rms and it sounds good but the bass isn't as loud as I like, I feel like my components overpower the sub. So I increased the bass boost some and increased the gain, it now sounds how I want it to and I can't hear any distortion. So I have a few questions: Does this mean my sub can handle more power than it was rated for? Can I set my gain using 200rms instead in this case? What is a good normal bass boost on the amp? I have it on about 4db at the mo. Thanks [/QUOTE]
