if you set the gains correctly then no you wont blow your speakers. you dont have to use all of your amps power. use a DMM. |

If you haven't used a DMM before, then don't bother. Instead, try this.
Look at your gain/level control. It should have something like 1v on the right and 4v-8v on the left. Now get info on your HU's output voltage. If it says 4v, then set the control half way. If it's 8v (newer models), then set the control to the left. If you're not sure, and your HU is old then it's most likely 2v. So set it between middle and right. |
