[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 2843090, member: 570419"] I would not recommend it. It puts a strain on the amp and could damage it from overheating as well. It also will sound like shit. It may not damage your sub thermally, but that doesn't mean it's OK to just go cranking the gain at random. There are no bars on the scope visualization.
