I found this at ROE, thought I'd share. Its a Voltage calculator for setting gains.

Cool! The formula is square root of amplifier output W * load Z
So if you wanted to know how many volts is 100W at 4 ohms its square root of 100*4 = 20V.

Yes, actually wouldn't hurt to adjust lower. Like say 750-800. So that you don't max out the amp.

Quick turn around in here. Fired/hired. I need to branch out more on some of these topic aeas. Some I've NEVER looked at.
I agree w/Avicjr. I'd set to no more than 800, depending on the sub/s power handeling.
