somewhere around 300w to the sub and 50w for the comps

Actually, you very well can use the gain to limit the power output of your amplifier. You shouldn't use it to try to increase output beyond what the amp is capable of providing (i.e. cranking the gain all the way up when it isn't needed), but it is 100% fine to use the gain to limit the output of the amplifier. People do it all the time.


Oh, and I've got ~800w on my sub, ~50w on my comps (currently).

i dont understand!! how are you people pushing so much power to your sub and at the same time have your components keep up with your sub(s)?? if i set the gain on my subs amp to push 800 watts to my idMAX at volume X and have the components receive 150 watts at volume X the idMAX is waaayy louder than the componets.. i guess this is where our sub differences comes in and my idMAX is so efficent the beast is my blowing comps out the water!?

I have around 400 on it, but I would guess I'm not actually giving it near that much, maybe 200ish, I'm tuned for flat.

70 to each of the speakers (all 4)

340ish to the sub right now

Was running 1000 to the sub, but my car didn't like that....and after listening to this driver with 340, I'll never feel the need to add that power back.

42 volts to the sub. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif roughly 1764 watts. 42^2 / Resistance.

in my truck...

1000ish to the subs

300ish to the components

in my boat...

2000ish to the subs

1200ish to coaxials (12 all together)

I have the potential for 68 watts of clean power @ high volume on the front pods, and 230 watts for the 8" under the dash..

and 131 watts per 8 in the wall, soon to be 250 + watts per..

I've never had a problem with the front stage getting drowned out..
