[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 2969080, member: 551352"] that is the cause of many system killings. you gotta under stand. 300 watts is not that loud...i got 300 watts on my componenet speakers...and people see that "oh shit the sub gets louder the higher i set the gain and bassboost" you gotta be realistic. go buy a digital multi meter. download a -6db 50hz (can use 60hz) test tone. connect the dmm, play the test tone and set it to the voltage you calculate (use the power you want multiplied by the final ohm load the amp will be sitting at and get the number. now squareroot the number. and thats your voltage) turn your gain up until you reach the number you calculated and that is the max output you will get from your sub...period. no more. you want louder. upgrade. btw dont let these dudes get to you, some just love to be dicks to people that arent familiar with car audio just yet. later [/QUOTE]
