[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7263104, member: 617319"] Good to hear! But I have some advice for tuning it to subs that it will likely overpower: Turn the gain all the way down, and the volume on your deck to 60/70% or wherever you want its "max" to be. Pick the song out of all of your music that makes your subs move the most (excursion). While playing it, turn up the gain until you hear the sub start to mechanically max out, then turn it down a little bit. Now, no matter what song you play, the sub will not be able to mechanically blow. As far as thermal overload goes, it shouldn't clip as long as you don't tweak the EQ, so that SHOULDN'T be an issue, but it's a little harder to dumb-proof than excursion. I do the same kind of tuning with my speakers as well btw. I've never blown a sub before by employing this method. Good luck! Let me know if you ever decide to get rid of it, I would be up for a trade. [/QUOTE]
