[QUOTE="IonRL205, post: 7550627, member: 599662"] (Target watts) x (ohm load) then take the square root of this number. So if you had an amp that did 1500 @ 1 ohm, you would do 1500 x 1 then square root of 1500 (something like 38) Now you take this number, and go to your amp. Unplug your speakers, turn the gain down and set all your basses to flat. Put in a 50 hz test tone and adjust the gain until you reach the number you got from square rooting. [/QUOTE]
