[QUOTE="brfitzp, post: 6336035, member: 614514"] I've read quite a few guides and they're all a bit confusing. I'm Trying to set the gains on an amp for a sub and it needs to be set to push 850 watts. I used this guide to do it how it's set now, but then someone told me i shouldn't used a tone like -6 and instead should have been 0 So i used the -6db tone at 60hz then turned the gains up until the multimeter reached the right number for the wattage i needed. Only thing is When i play another song such as young jeezy put on it goes over that number with all the sound levels still set the same.... Is that ok? I dont wanna let the sub clip and die again...
