[QUOTE="brents, post: 2266932, member: 571234"] Well, turning the gain all the way up isn't necesarrily going to affect the output of the amp, or having it halfway up. That depends on input sensitivity and preout voltage. As a solid matter of fact, there is a good chance that even at half way up, you are feeding the 100wrms to those components. It just depends on your HU's preout voltage, and input sensitivity of that amp. Some speakers are capable of exceeding their RMS, and that is certainly something Kicker is known for. Also, you should not have speaker wires running to the components from the HU. Your preouts to the amp serve signal purpose, your speaker wires should be coming from the amp alone. [/QUOTE]
