I'm confused about the gains guys....

if the clarion sends out 7vrms to the eclipse amp... the amp has gains from minimum 5volts to max .2volts.

even at the minimum setting wont the 7vrms cause the amp to clip? Or am I totally off.. I had read that car stereo guru page http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/

totally confused

what about gains for the subwoofer amp as well...
