Default who can tune my amps for me?

I need my amps tuned before Bond of Bellevue. I have my amps installed and my sub but dont have my type-r door speakers and tweeters in yet. I am gonna try and get those in on tuesday and finish up wednesday hopefully. i at least want my mono amp for my sub tuned. I tried to tune it by sound but I just dotn wanna blow my sub. I know it can go louder but I am playing it safe right now. So someone please help me out. i dont wanna have to go pay a shop to do it.

Thanks

shouldnt be hard... just read the spec sheet for you sub(s) and amp... set gain at 0 on your amp... turn your radio up to common listening volume... then turn gain up on amp till it starts to distort sound crappy.. then back off the gain just a tad...
believe thats the most common/easy method to doing it.. after that it should sound fine at almost any volume

I can also help if you want to do it sooner. The best way of course is with a tone disk and DMM but I've always done it Kekai's suggested way and have never blown a speaker or amp.

Well thanks guys. Well let me know when you may be available CJ. But I kinda wanna try and get my type-r's in so maybe Brian i will take you up on that., It will give me ample time to finish. Oh and bad news i cracked my plastic piece. Dont know how. But I super glued it back in and am doing some painting to try and hide it. It looks liek it will turn out well. Maybe only one more coat and you wont know it was there.
