[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 6679944, member: 560148"] Setting gains with a DMM is likely to have him use less power than he already is if anything. He's already bottoming out too so more power isn't going to help in the slightest. If he wants more low end and less bottoming out he needs to tune lower, and probably get a bigger box while he's at it. Anyway gain setting isn't rocket science. If you use a 0db tone at the highest volume you listen with, your only going to get maybe 1/4 to 1/2 your amps maximum power at full tilt on most music. Once you use lesser recorded tones or a lower than normal volume level as reference to gain overhead, you back to a shot in the dark again when you are basically approximating music. A little bit of clipping isn't a problem on transients and if your clipping the hell out of your amps for more output, you built the wrong system anyway. [/QUOTE]
