[QUOTE="BryceHinton, post: 8217368, member: 659411"] What type of amplifier is it? If you are setting gain with a DMM, you should measure AC Voltage at the speaker outputs on the amp. You want to turn up the gain until you see a specific voltage. E = Square Root of (P x R) So, 500w X 2ohm, then take the square root of that.. = 31v. Turn up the gain until your DMM shows 31 volts. Thats probably as accurate as you can get without using a DD1 or Oscilloscope [/QUOTE]
