[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8712687, member: 679555"] You need a multimeter. Setting gain to half way or w/e is completely dependent on your source voltage and you can easily damage your equipment by thinking of it like "half way up" it's not a volume knob from 0% to 100%, it's got a proper value, which is dependent on your speakers and how they're wired. So we need: Subwoofer(s) connected to it and in what impedance value. You'll use the multimeter to achieve a desired voltage at the output terminals and that will ensure that you're getting the most out of your amplifier without clipping and/or without exceeding the rating of whatever speakers you've got connected to it. We don't know what the voltage should be unless we know the ohms load and the desired wattage. [/QUOTE]
