Since it's not lighting up until you have turned the gain up, it is telling you that is has reached it's limits. Make sure your crossovers are off and that you're using a 50hz 0db tone. A lot of people drive into clipping a little ways anyways so don't worry too much about it.It looks like you're wiring at 1 ohm. 31.6v would give you 1000 watts. It sounds like your amp is overrated. What kind of amp is it? If it's clipping around 20v, then it's only about 400-500w at 1 ohm.</blockquote>
