incorrect. play a song that you know well. ie how it should sound. at a high quality recording (ie; from a CD, not an MP3 file)

if the amp is purely for a sub, then it may help to disconnect front speakers to hear the distortion clearly.

alternatively, read the manual with your HU and find the correct output sensitivity, then adjust your gain to that figure (it'll be in volts [V])
