Depends on the head unit. Some radios only put out 1 or less volts, Some as much a 8, 10 or even 16 volts. If you turn the gain all the way up with one of these higher voltage head units, you will clip the amp at a much lower volume on the radio. Now turn the head unit up all the way (withe the gain still at max) the amp will be clipping bad and you may even go down in SPL about 1-2 dB.

Distortion doesn't kill subs, idiots do.
Ahhh, the sweet smell of burnt coils.

my 15 does 142.5 before the radio skips, on 1200 watts. So you either need a new box, better electrical system, vehicle more suited for SPL, or all 3.

Your box is tuned to 53Hz? or you get peak spl at 53Hz? big difference

Stevieo, check out this site. http://www.bcae1.com/ go to the list on the right side and go to # 63 gain controls. I'm sure you can get all the info you will need. This is in my option, the best site around for amp and sub info! plus a whole lot more
