to level 2 as well as turning my gain just a tad over half along with my sensitivity. My kickers could handle it for a year and they're still going strong, but I get 2 pioneers with higher rms but they still match my amp because they have 2 ohm. I'm just glad it wasn't the 2 CVRs i was thinking about getting. There's also still a chance I can get an exchange for a "defect" and only 1 is blown anyway
