[QUOTE="SaturnScott, post: 14864, member: 541720"] The gain isn't a volume control... it is supposed to match the output level of your deck. So do this: - Turn the gain all the way counter-clockwise on the amp... or off, basically. - Set your EQ to "Flat" (no bass) on your deck, and turn up the volume until you hear it distort. At this point, back off the volume a few notches, then leave it there. - Now, turn the gain up on your amp until it once again distorts. At this point, back off the gain a little bit, then leave it there. This way, your amp output is in equal with your deck output. If you can't hear your sub from outside your car with your gain turned all the way up, then you may not be able to hear the sub outside the car regardless of what you do. Scott [/QUOTE]
