[QUOTE="dub6pimp, post: 3953504, member: 584826"] if your amp is more powerful than the sub, you should set your gain with a dmm to make sure your not overdoing it. then you can mess with the settings on your head unit to bump it up a little to your taste, because some songs are quite a bit quieter, so i find myself changing the eq for almost every song. but real loud songs should play at your original settings(vol, eq, bass boost on the deck) when you set it at. so basically your gain will put you in the "range" but volume, eq, and bass settings on the hu are like little gains that are accesable from your drivers seat. adjust them to your liking but make sure its not sounding shitty. some songs just **** maybe the reason its not sounding good to you.
