[QUOTE="osl, post: 6947046, member: 624346"] That's about right. Turning it up a bit won't kill you. Besides, you set your gains with a test tone and your music will never see that peak anyways. Using a DMM is the safe way to do it. Doing it by ear can get you more. But since your amp is underrated, you can turn it up a litle and be fine. What I like to do it turn my sub level at my deck a few clicks lower (like 13 out of 15), and set it there and if I need more, turn up the sub level instead. [/QUOTE]
