[QUOTE="Mitch86, post: 7255488, member: 568012"] Ok, I have always set gains by ear and never had a problem with blowing a sub. (not since I learned what the gain knob is actually for anyway) [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] But I currently have a ****** headunit that only has 1 set most likely low voltage RCAs and I have to crank the gain all the way to get to where I think it should be. I dont hear any audible clipping. My question is, is it possible to have such a s[I]hitt[/I]y HU that the gains NEED to be maxed out to get to the proper level? In other words, even if I were using the DMM method, could it be possible I need to max the gains to reach where it needs to be? [/QUOTE]
