[QUOTE="CrownMe, post: 6244884, member: 597350"] .. actually the gain wasn't turned all the way up. But its pretty high. Anddd I figured I should be pushing as much power possible to the comps since the amp pushes only 115 per channel and the mids require 150. From what I had understood, underpowering can also be seriously dangerous to my speakers. To be honest I've been using these for a while like this, its just that normally I never turn it up that high, I never smelt burnt coils or anything like that so I'm assuming I havent cooked em. And most the gain setting tutorials I've been reading seem to be sorta geared towards subs. But this is my understanding: set everything to the minimum level on ur amp turn ur HU up about 75% then work with each gain one at a time, till u hear it clip then turn that gain down till u dont hear any distortion anymore? .. does that about sound right? btw, thanks for the help, really appreciate it [/QUOTE]
