[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7508625, member: 631325"] you can use a DMM to set your gains. A simple google search "setting amplifier gains with DMM" will provide everything you need, and that is the safest bet. Sounds like you're running it too hot, which can be cause of too high of a volume, and an improperly set gain. So, use a DMM and set your gain properly. The reason your HU goes that high is because some source volumes are really quiet, you might need to turn it up extra. Among various other reasons... I have a Kenwood HU as well, and when I set my gains, I set them at Volume 28. And the loudest I'll ever go is Volume 30. Also, your more powerful speakers should be up front, it produces a MUCH better sound stage that way. Many people will ONLY have front speakers. I have 300w running to my front stage, and have my rears powered by my HU, just for a little noise back there for the passengers. [/QUOTE]
