[QUOTE="ingeo, post: 1888539, member: 567867"] I tried to setup my amp to run at 500 Watts (42.72 V) the other day and the only reading I got from my DMM was 68-69V regardless of where I set the gain. The volt read never changed more then a tenth or two. Does this mean things were clipping? I am a little confused about the Alpine Sub Level everyone says set it to +15. Where I am confused is some people say Alpine set this up backwards. Does this mean that +15 is full sub output? I would think the higher I set the output the more it should be adjusting the level of the sub. If this is correct then I fail to understand why people say this is setup backwards. [/QUOTE]
