[QUOTE="g30ffr3y, post: 951419, member: 556438"] start at the lowest gain setting... set the HU where you would usually listen to it and SLOWLY turn the gain up until it looks like the subs are performing comfortably and you are happy with the output... but you really cant substitute for a nice voltmeter... ive got one hooked up to my amp all the time because some music puts out radically different voltages... i.e. there is a big difference in how far you can push your volume playing lil jon vs. how far you can turn your volume playing like a poorly produced rock album... or sh1tty MP3...
