That is not what the gain is for. It is for matching the voltage from the head unit. Nothing to do with adjusting power to the subs; that is a side effect and not what you use to adjust output to subs. OP go to a audio site with tutorials on properly tuning an amp; ignore fallacy.

get hifonics, run at 4ohm, adjust gain accordingly, rock out.

I know the kicker cvr's can take more than advertised power on a daily basis, regardless 50-100w here or there won't hurt.

Agreed. Avoid audiopipe like the plague

What is your specific budget?

If your budget is under $300 I would check these out:

Personally I would go with the Zapco ST-1000XM. It hits 350w at 4hms which is above your 75% threshold and at a good price. Also, Zapco from what I have read is a fairly good brand of amps and more highly regarded than Hifonics. I have no experience myself with Zapco, but I would take the word of more experienced car audio guys than myself.

Zapco is great stuff. Even though those are low end zapco, they are still better than most

Better than Hifonics lol.

While thats true, i wouldnt hesitate to run hifonics
