YOu should have a professional do all your gain settings if you dont know how to properly set it. A volt meter is the best way, otherwise you could be damaging your sub, and not even know it.

ONLY if you have the birthsheet.
Other than that, an oscope is the best way.

3/4 the way up on gains? no sir, either read the gain setting tutorial or have a professional at a store do it.

it's really not that hard to set the gains though =/...

To give you any idea I have my gains set all the way down on my cvr's being pushed with one RF 1000bd and they move. I think if you set your amps gains to 3/4 with that RMS you would blow em.
