Gains?

[blkout5]

Just wondering if it is possible to damage your speakers by having your gains turned down to low, I'm asking because I don't have the tools to do the gain setting tutorial so I just turned my gains all the way down on my sub amp and my 4 channel amp until I get the chance to do it myself or have someone do it for me.

No. Do you damage the equipment by turning down the volume? nope.

No you cant damage subs by the gains being set too low.

I'm new so I might be wrong, but I thought clipping happens when the signal isn't amplified right, or does that only apply when it's being overpowered?

Setting your gains lower will not hurt the speakers. /nuff said

Granted everything else is set properly...
