If you don't wanna burn them up...don't crank up the sub level on the head unit...leave the sub leve at the minimum and set the gain on the amp and see where you're at from there
leave all loudness and boost options on the deck off also
Thanks for the info. So just to be sure, how will I know if the 8 volts are doing harm to the amp? Will I hear it distorting or will the amp go into protect mode?
