[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6273596, member: 611275"] You're overcomplicating things. Just use some common sense when setting your gains, man. Turn your headunit to a reasonable volume (loud, but not full tilt), and use your ears. If that's not a good enough answer, you'll need to buy an o-scope. Seriously, you don't have to give your subs the EXACT power they're rated for. You shouldn't throw 2 or 3 times more than rated at them unless you know exactly what you're doing, but as long as the power is clean and within reason the subs will be fine. Just don't max out the gain and bass boost on the amplifier. I'm not so sure your subs can handle 700 watts continuously anyway, and I don't know if that Quantum Audio amplfier will do rated power. There are a lot of variables to take into consideration here... [/QUOTE]
