The gains are all the way down since I have a bass boost knob hooked up to the amp all the way turned up. I have a 1500 watt hifonics amp. I'm pulling 1000 watts with my subs( and Im pulling 400 watts from my mids and highs but that amp isnt hooked up because of the voltage drop) I'm going to be getting a fi bl 10 in the next couple of weeks so I'm going to be pulling 1500 watt for my sub then. So I will be pull 1900 watts max in the next couple of weeks
