[QUOTE="Jmac, post: 7607330, member: 545486"] If you're using it for musical purposes, use a -3 dB or -6 dB sine wave test tone to set the gains and use 700 watts @ 2 ohms (37.4 volts). I prefer using a 6 dB overlap, myself. As for your head unit, it's for level matching the sub with the rest of the system. Use it at the highest setting when setting the gains and turn it down if you find the sub is overpowering the rest of the system. [/QUOTE]
