[QUOTE="jungstah, post: 7880500, member: 641670"] when setting gain or "level" for the amp with a dmm, V = sqrt(P x R) where V is the amount of volts you would want to see on your dmm according to desired rms output. P is how many watts rms you want coming out from the amp and R is the load your subs are wired to. so if you want your amp to put out 500w rms @ 1 ohm. it would be sqrt(500 x 1) which equals to 22.36V so @ 22.36V on the dmm, you're putting out 500w. try to lay off the bass boosts [/QUOTE]
