[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 2620880, member: 549523"] I find a volume where my HU starts to sound nasty... generally I can tell this by minimizing the gain on my front stage amp and turning it up until it is distorted. I refer to that as "max volume" on the HU. At that point I will disconnect the front stage amp (just in case), hook the RCAs to the subwoofer amplifier with the subwoofer connected... turn the gain all the way down on the sub amp, and then work my way up to the "max volume" level. If the sub is still doing okay I will start increasing the gain until it sounds nasty, then back it off. Sometimes it will require some more fine adjustment after this procedure, but it'll get you in the ballpark. Not scientific... but it works quite well for me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
