[QUOTE="Raisedin305, post: 1194718, member: 562370"] Now I understand...for example in my sitaution...Subs- two 15" Kicker L7s DVC2 amp- KX2500.1 (i want it to get 1000rms to each sub, not 1250rms). So i do... 2,000(rms) x 2(ohm)= 4,000 4,000 sqrt= 63.245 Therefor I need to set my volume on my headunit to 39 (3/4 of 52) have all my EQ to 0 (bass, treb, sub etc...) With the volume and everything on the EQ down, I raise the volume up to 39 on my headunit, then turn the gain on my amp until my DMM reads 63, correct? This is all I have to do in order to have my gains properly set on my amp? This all done using a 50hz tone. Question- since I had to set the gain using the subwoofer level on my Headunit at 0 is it still ok to put it up to the max (14/14) without worrying about it blowing or I shouldn't do that? [/QUOTE]
