[QUOTE="tcguy85, post: 4115382, member: 574289"] i'd say play the loudest song you play, as loud as you would listen to it normally and set the gains using the clip light. make it so the light just barely lights for very short bursts. if it's on all the time prepare to buy a new sub. if it just blinks a bit now and then thats great. imo if you never ever see it light then you are just wasting power by setting your gain to low. but, if the light staying on for an entire note then yes set the gain lower. i only listen to rock which is just lights the lights barely enough to see because the music is so fast and dynamic. playing rap with long drawn out notes will really make seeing the light easy.
