[QUOTE="zako, post: 7866139, member: 629735"] It depends on the music that you play. In my opinion if you listen mostly rock, anything instrumental, or pop most amplifier/subwoofer combos have more than sufficient head room (except if you do something stupid like run a subwoofer of a 100watt channel) to be able to be tuned just by ear and enjoy. If you listen rap or anything demanding of the lows, then use the DMM to set gains accurately. Use a DMM to find out what's the maximum amplifier gain and head unit volume setting where clipping occurs, and then never turn above that level. [/QUOTE]
