[QUOTE="Lennox, post: 8212290, member: 655674"] Okay, so currently I don't have much money but would like to upgrade. I know that setting gains too high will cause the amp to try and push more power than it can and send clipped signals which will ruin subs. Is there a downside to having gains lower than they potentially could be? I.E. buying either type-r's now or the soundqubed subs I mentioned and setting the gains to like 1/3 so that they don't get as much power, and running my system like that for about 6 months until I get cash to do the big 3 and possibly the battery upgrade. Then I could still get better sq for the time being until I can get the upgrades and my car can handle pushing 1000+ watts. [/QUOTE]
