Default Amp gain settings

I have a Cerwin Vega B54 amp, and GZCF Yellow Basket 6.5 speakers, bridged. What should I be setting the gains at for 150watts? Is it 24.5v?
Thanks

That is correct but I'd set it higher. Target 30v. Should put you around 225 watts.

I’m running this same set up. Still isn’t perfect. But it gets loud.
