[QUOTE="tcguy85, post: 2976271, member: 574289"] i set my gains using a 0 db 50hz test tone to my desired 39 volts, i then hooked the sub back up and played the 0 db 50hz test tone and it sounds clipped at the volume i set the gains at, it sounds fine a couple notches down. so i turned the gain down and now i get 34 volts at the dmm with the test tone. whats the deal? i know the 780 watts is at 14.4 and the voltage in my car was just over 13 when i played it and it sounded clipped, i guess it was because the voltage wasn't 14.4 right? would setting it by ear with a -3 db tone be ok?
