Same old question... with a twist.

[QUOTE="scotty3x3, post: 8250125, member: 658710"] The goal is simply to not damage my equipment. I installed a Kicker CompR loaded enclosure with two 12" subs (800 RMS Each) and a Pioneer 9601 (800 RMS) mono amp. This is nowhere near extravagant as some of you guys' equipment but I still don't want to destroy it. I don't change EQ settings very often, but I do turn the system WAY up when driving with the windows and sunroof open on the interstate. I don't want to turn the system up for a 30 minute drive and end up damaging any of the components. I figure if I set gains to 2 or 3 volts LOWER than where they start clipping, I shouldn't have to worry about that. Is this train of thought on the wrong track? [/QUOTE]
