[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8537465, member: 540940"] Pretty sure that was one of Power Acoustik/Lanzar/some other cheap brands (?) ~1200w boards. ~700 @ 2 isn't a stretch IMO. But setting the gain at 0dB will give you a LOT less than optimal power output since you rarely see music levels at even -2 or -3. It's often suggested to set them up with -3 or even -6dB tones. My by ear settings compared to -3dB usually come out pretty close. [/QUOTE]
