[QUOTE="tuckj, post: 1113880, member: 561435"] Allready installed: 1- 500/1 jl amp & 2 12w3 subs (custom box I made myself - looks good) 1) The amp is rated at 500 watts continous 2) The optiumum range for eash sub is 250 watts. 3) Subs are wired in series = 4 ohm load Everything lite up nice - sounds good. I was reading your forums and found many postings on "gain setting" and decided to give it a try.................when I reread the instructions, I started asking myself questions I can not answer. Serous question - is it ok to assume that I can run 2 subs (rated at 250 continous) on an amp that is rated at 500 continous and not harm the subs? This is an assumption I made. Please tell me what voltage I need to achieve when setting my gain - there are 2 subs in series Thanks a million tuckj [/QUOTE]
