[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 6615908, member: 567719"] If you normally leave your bass boost at 0 then set your gain with it at 0, if you normally have it at 5, then set your gains with it at 5. Basically you want to leave all your boost settings where you normally have them, and turn the volume up to what you want to be the max, then set your gain. After you've set the gain do not turn up the bass boost and do not turn the volume up past the number you chose, otherwise you'll clip the amp. And it doesn't matter what the sub is rated for, a clipped signal will kill it. [/QUOTE]
