[QUOTE="tinmanchris217, post: 6806354, member: 610505"] That's an 8% difference in output... I wouldn't stress it too much. For the most part, I've heard that you should use -4 or -6 dB for daily gain setting... and 0 to -3 dB for controlled blasts and burping. If it's underrated, you can go farther, than an overrated amp. Also, make sure that your voltage stays up... cause with gnarly drop, you can see less output than a clean unclipped power. Plus, it'll keep your equipment alive much longer. Also, depending on the amp type, you may need to tune with the subs disconnected. [/QUOTE]
