[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1731640, member: 550915"] This is the exact reason people can get away with running double RMS to their speakers and subs. Music is nowhere near 0dB. That is a given. As long as there is no clipping, what's the harm in turning up the volume knob, that's what it's there for last I checked. If you set the gain totally by ear, now you have to worry about clipping when you inevitably want to turn it up a bit. If everything is configured correctly and the components are well matched to each other, you should not have a want for more volume or have to worry about clipping either. If you are getting weak results from systems set up with a DMM, then you eaither don't have enough power in the first place or you have an irrational fear of turnig up the volume even though you know it is safe to do so.
