[QUOTE="gijoe, post: 3580027, member: 574042"] I am having a little trouble understanding question 2. Either way, setting your gains properly has more to do with protecting your speakers and has less to do with the amp. Set your gains according to the LOWEST number of rms watts between your amp and subs. If you have a 400watt rms amp and 900watt rms speakers you would use 400watts as your target, if you have a 600watt rms amp and 500watt rms subs, then 500 is your target. Pick the smallest of the two. [/QUOTE]
