[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1586864, member: 554626"] OK, don't listen to what I said hehe. No I didn't blow my sub but I wasn't thinking at the same time. Here is the best senario for setting your gains. Set everything on your HU flat, I only turned up my treble and sub volume. Let the amps do the work. Go by ear. Done. If you start fcking with the controls on the HU (bass boost n shiz), the HU sends the clipped signal to the amps, thus square wave. Bass boost and LOUD and all of that crap on your HU was designed for low volume scenarios with factory speakers. You want nice sound clear bass from aftermarket components? Buy an amp. Sorry I just felt like BS'ing. [/QUOTE]
