[QUOTE="Loren Jones, post: 51390, member: 829"] Re: Effect of a change in gain to subs? Thanks Langston, The amps output rating doesn't even equal the continuous power rating of the subs so I don't think we are dealing with loudspeaker distortion to a significant extent. The subs are also not going to be getting out of their linear range with regards to displacement at the power in question. There is no system limiter in place and I NEVER even see a clip light on any of the amps in our system. Anyway, certainly what John stated and you affirmed makes perfect sense. Whether the subs were center stacked and coupling perfectly or LR stacked and creating lobes and nulls, the power is still 3db less thus it follows the output will also be 3 db less regardless of the acoustics (and assuming everything is operating in a linear range).
