[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7163044, member: 622908"] Turn the boost where you want on the amp, and turn your gain all the way off. Put the deck on as loud as you would ever listen to it, then slowly turn the gain up until the note being played by the sub starts to sound goofy. Back it off an eigth from that sound. This isn't as precise as using equipment, but not everyone has an O-scope and this will keep you from tearing your sub up. Beyond that, don't try to get more out of your equipment than they are capable of. Lots of people make this mistake, and being on a budget, you are going to end up having to replace things. [/QUOTE]
