[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8250382, member: 614752"] Sorry. 800W will be a little less than "twice as loud" as 100W. Set the gains so that things sound good and you have enough flexibility to have adequate volume even on songs with low recording levels. When you use your volume knob and hear things distort, hear the woofer bottom out, or smell something burning turn things down. The point being that if you like to listen to anything else besides a 0db 50hz test tone setting gains based on that is absurd on its face. [/QUOTE]
