Definetely NOT safe turning it up like that. You gains CANNOT be all the way up or your system will sound like poo. If they are you are asking for a catastrophic failure and listening to levels of distortion that will quickly help the deafening process. You need to read the gain setting tutorial and use it. If it isn't loud enough for you at that point you need to evaluate what you are really looking for in a system and start adding more drivers.

Everyone else here has hinted, but I will flat out say it. Trying to be loud outside your car is immature and completely lame. If you p*nnis is that small there are other things you can do. This industry will be wrecked by people with that attitude and I for one, do not want to see that happen. If you have reasons to be loud outside your car...like you live in a tent and it is your home stereo...then just mount the damn speakers outside your car and it will be loud. Or build a turnk system and open your trunk. The real game is having 145+db inside and 30db out, if you can do that you win.

Guys, my Ti just got really really really loud like wow it hurts loud. I put it back in my 2.0^3 tuned @ 33hz box but have the port pointing towards my firewall and good god it's freakin loud. The gains are set to only be pushing out 700 watts or so(trust me, more than enough). Just wow, I can't believe the output of it now, it still sounds like poo but I'm gonna build the right box for it eventually.

just wanted to update, ROE porn soon

i was messin with the settings last night, and i put the remote bass all the way down, but the gain on the back of the amp is still all the way up. that's the ONLY thing that's up. the bass on my HU is set at -15.

and the only reason i ask why my system isnt loud outside of the car is cause i see people with subs that dont even compare to a 12" titanium that hit harder. common sense would tell me if they get THAT loud on the outside of the car, then they really loud on the inside

Your "common sense" isn't right. It is very possible and HIGHLY encouraged to get loud in your car while trying to be as quiet as possible outside. My car has more than 60dB transmission loss from the interior to the exterior which means that at 140db inside the car it will be at pretty normal conversation levels outside. My system isn't super loud, but it will get louder than I will ever listen to it and you can't hardly hear it outside at all which is the way it is supposed to be.

Turn your gains down....you really, really, really shouldn't run them at full level unless you like the sound of distortion and the smell of burning voice coils.
