[QUOTE="whitedragon551, post: 6950920, member: 608181"] No confusion on my part. I understand what the gain knob is and how to use it. Again with a horrible research link. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. There is an equation to figure out what to set your gain at with a DMM. Setting it any higher than that voltage will likely send a clipped signal to your speakers/subs, doing so will damage them eventually. Its not a case of if, its when. ALL amps are different in terms of when they start clipping in respect to the gain meter. I dont know how to tell you any other way, but it is what it is. And it IS NOT A VOLUME KNOB. [/QUOTE]
