Car Audio

if you turn your gain down you will be fine. I'm not sure where monza is coming from, but yeah if you turn the gain all the way up and blast the radio, you will likely blow your speakers. but gain is supposed to be set moderately - always. some people tend to think of it as a secondary volume control, as an installer, I hate these people. I've worked in car audio for years, doing SQ systems, some SPL , and my cousin continues to do so in his own business. comparing this to a 7000 rpm car running 7000 rpm all the time is a terrible metaphor. when you're listening to music, you'll likely never be operating at full volume and therefore even though your amp says 60 watts rms, you're not seeing it, simply because you don't need it.
In short, drop your gain a little and you'll be fine.
