[QUOTE="chillin, post: 7099693, member: 573057"] Just saying if you set your gains at the same point on both amps doesnt mean it is set to match the Head unit. If you were clipping the jl and didnt know it, it could have put out up to 1000 watts (though you would notice that). But it could still have been putting out more than it is rated at without you noticing. And if the gain is set wrong on the new amp, you could be putting out less than 600. The 500/1 has switchable input voltages. One of the settings is from 200mv-2v. If you were using that one at 3/4 gain, it would be sending a very strong signal from your hu. [/QUOTE]
