[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 2810061, member: 570956"] don't worry, this isn't the standard "how do you set your gains" question. I've already read up on the DMM method of properly setting your gains, I understand the math, and have done it on my own setup...but here's my question. On my current setup it was easy, I had 1000W @ 1 Ohm and my sub was exactly 1000W RMS....but on my new setup I'm running a 1200W amp to a 1000W sub....so when I go to do the math, do I use 1200 as my power or 1000? In other words, for figuring out the proper voltage of a 1200W amp hooked to a 1000W RMS sub, would I use sqrt(1200) or sqrt(1000)? [/QUOTE]
