      Fuck that man make sure you don’t have too much gain you always wanna set the bass from your stereo if you need more. But you should be able to set your gain comfortable with the volume at a level u always play it at and let it bump for a bit and see if u get hot amp or anything then turn it down little by little. Don’t blow the speakers if you can help it speakers won’t blow unless they’re getting clipped fr

      How do you know when to stop turning it up? The gain adjustment is the maximum output of the amplifier without distortion. You set your source at the maximum volume without distortion and turn up the gain on the amp until it distorts, then back off a little.

      he said he has his head-unit for additional low pass filter so if the amp is at 100Hz and your head-unit is at 60Hz the amp will never see anything above 60Hz. Using a stock head unit I really miss all those filters that aftermarket head-units have so now my amp is at 50Hz low pass and I still hear notes higher than that. Head-unit is very important in shaping your sound.

      2 12's on a 700 watt amp. Thats pretty poor. Most reliable amps are ones that are class D monoblocks. And 1,000 watts at a minimum. Make sure you have proper power and ground. Dont forget ohm ratings per sub and how you plan to wire them. If the subs are 4ohm DVC, then you series the coils on each sub then parallel them both together bridged on an amplifier.
