[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8371296, member: 650438"] you are in waay over your head, its okay though, just take it slow, build up some car audio common sense. LITERALLY. use all 5 senses to make proper judgement. If you hear something wrong/distorting/bottoming out or if the setup is not getting louder when you are going up in volume clicks, then back it off. If you feel the sub and amp after a 10-20 minute jam session and its getting hot, then back it off on the gain. If your voltages drop lower than 12, then back it off on the gain. If nothing is wrong and you can turn it up and it increases loudness without dropping volts, then you can try VERY slowly pushing the limits of your system. SEriously though, get a multi-meter and monitor your voltage drops during bass heavy songs. [/QUOTE]
