[QUOTE="whitedragon551, post: 6951428, member: 608181"] Thats not what I said. Let me put this in as basic terms as possible. You can either choose to or choose not to use the gain on your HU, bass, treble, what ever else you want to do. People who want to reduce the chances of sending a clipped signal from the headunit leave those settings at 0 and tune at the amp for a certain max volume on the HU. When you tune with a DMM you still check at the speaker terminals with a DMM on the voltage. All of those settings affect the the gain that you will want to match the amp to. Theoretically they should be the same, but in practice they are not. Last time I checked there is no volume knob out there that is made to match gains. They simply turn up or down the volume. The gain knob is there to match voltage gains only. As for finding some speakers that get loud as balls. Look for the Diamond Audio S600A or the D662A comps. There are a few sets here in the forums for sale, but they are the S model number which is silk tweeter instead of aluminum. Ill tell you right now the Diamond Audio Hex aluminum tweets are very loud and crystal clear even on HU power.
