Very Unhelpful

[conn.am 10+ year member]

I went into our local audio shop (custom audio) and told them that i had an amp with two subs and i needed help setting my gains so that i know where they are at and so that i dnt have them set to high. He told me i needed to check with hifonics and see what they recomend with the kinds of subs im using. Correct me if im wrong but i thought it was just as simple as using an multimeter on my amp with the subs disconnected and adjust it untill i reach where i want it. He said something about having to know the impedence and some other shit. I am new at this and need help. Right now i am not satisfied with the way they are performing. I want to change my gains so that they are at the max my subs can handle RMS. I have two type R's hooked up to a hifonics bxi2006D. Its rated at 2000 watts but ive heard its overrated. Any help is appreciated.

This is a very useful guide to setting the gains, it explains step by step on how to do it.

That audio shop should be boycotted by all nearby if your story is true. Way easy to diy.
