i just bought an alpine mrp-m450 amp and am wondering what i should set the gain at. I have a panassonic deck and its pre-outs are rated at 2.5 volts.

Turn the HU up to where you can hear distortion, then quickly turn it down until you don't hear the distortion. That's your HU's RMS level. Then, go to your amp, and turn your gain up until you hear the subs beging to distort, quickly then turn it down until your subs stop distorting. There's your amp's RMS correct setting :-).

That will give you the correct setting. Unless your gain has Voltage markings on it, then just follow those.
