My quart ra1500.1 and going to be pushing soundqubed hds215 dual 4 ohm wired to 2ohms takes 600w rms and 1200 peak. Amp puts out 1000w rms at 2 ohms.

Do I set gain to 44.7 volts for 1000w. Or 34.6 for 600w?

id probably set it by ear to the point where it stops getting louder, but somewhere around 40-44v will probably be good when using a -3db tone
