just go off the posted spec. if it says 300wrms @ 2ohm go off that. never by peak, peak means nothing.

I have a question!!! Why don't those instruction incorporate the pre-amp voltage of the HU's output??? Or is that already accounted for once the amp receives the signal??

and dont go by the low pass number go with something lower as the cossover may still be effecting the ouput near the low-pass and high-pass numbers.

i would say go by what the rms specs say, even though it does say you will be doing 362 at 2 ohms.

what i would do is set the gain in about the middle of your usable frequencies, 20hz-80hz, which would be about 50hz. so, use a 50 hz test tone. that is simply how i do it...
