[QUOTE="KyleBechtold, post: 5412597, member: 604516"] Idk If anyone answered this correctly b/c I saw a lot of really weird answers.. some more retarded than others.. Basically.. Your amps gain is not a watts dial.. It doesn't control how many watts go into the sub.. Its job is to match the voltage from the h/u. Say you h/u has 4v preouts.. your amp setting would be close to fully to the left.. Now then.. If you set your gains to higher than what the h/u is putting out then it will get louder faster and the music won't have much range.. and where it used to be getting to full tilt it will be in clipping area.. I really don't feel like writing a paper on this though.. so I won't [/QUOTE]
