CRAP!!!!
Yes, I'm bringing this up agian, but for a good reason. Education. After all knowedge is power!!!
ANYONE who says "under powering a sub will destroy it" is holding on to a myth.
If I turn my volume down, I'm actually "underpowering" my subs. Low volume, low power.
People are confusing "clipping" with "underpowering". THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!!!! Clipping and over powering is what hurt subs and is the exact same thing.
Clipping is when someone tries to over compensate a low powered amp by increasing the sensitivity level (adjust the gain to a lower voltage input) to get more power out of it.
The gain control is a device used to "match" the volts RMS coming from the source.
Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621
You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.
This has been a public service announcement.
