Yep. {USERNAME} wrote: If so that's covered, at max volume the sub won't be over powered by the amp, hence only 50% gain at the amp. Tuned at max volume at the head unit with adjustments made at the amplifier for no distortion at higher head unit volume. The only problem i have with that is that you tuned it at MAX headunit volume, im not sure if your headunit has a setting to stop volume increases at a certain point but most will distort at higher volumes, you would get better sound upping the amp gain and lowering the pre out voltage. Volume stops, I think, at 60...can't turn the knob to go any higher then that. However I do get worried if someone decides to flick the "loudness" button causing the sound level to increase and cause havoc at max volume. Rarely listen to it at max vol anyways...anywhere between 30 - 40 is good enough for the ears  .Anyways hope OP has got an idea of what to do and got some new info

the sub will only ever run 500 efficiently... so twice the power is probably a bit of over kill... hence limiting the signal too the amp (preout voltage or gain knob on amp), protects the sub... Just means you have leeway for larger in the future...

Cheaper, more power and arguably better quality than the Jaycar amp
