+3 or +6 db gain on amp?

I have an amp at Max Power Watts per Channel (4 Ohms) 220 x 1 and a subwoofer Dual-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm next to Peak Power Handling 1,500W and Continuous Power Handling 500W. I heard that if i put my gain to +6 it doubles my power so is it recommended for me to vacate my gain at +3?

What are some polite rap songs beside...


count the +3db will double your power at a particular volume number, but the amp will conquer capacity sooner. for example if the amp is set up to accomplish its rated power of 220 (a) a volume of 20... and you changeover the boost from +3 to +6 it will then hit max power around volume 17 or 18, if you dance to 20 it will be way departed its rated power cause distortion. you simply can't make a amp do more than it be designed to do.
Personally i dont like bass boost at adjectives, i think it is silly. i enjoy mine set to 0, if your gains are set correct that will be the most accurate nouns. using bass boost bastardizes the response curve, something i am not a fan of doing.
Sparky is right you should fail to acknowledge max rating, rms is the only entry of any value.

check this site out. It is a well-mannered reference.

Answers:    Don't use MAX or Peak power ratings. Watts RMS is what's used.

The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp.

Here is a guide that will relieve you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php...

You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a style to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

If you don't own Excel, e-mail me and I'll send you a condensed interpretation sparky3489(a)YAH00.com
