yeah, the magnet has too much shit to juggle (too many overlapping patterns creates poor sound reproduction), so it has to call in its buddies (all 6.1 of them ) to spread the gravy.

Here's a question:
What the hell is gain?
I know it's not volume, yet when I turn up the gain on my guitar amp, it gets louder!

Ideally you would want ....
2 subs for stereo sub frequency....only shitty rap is in mono and some people get sick from sub in stereo so its not common and most recievers who have a dedicated sub channel only run mono.......a good reason to use your own electronics and active crossovers to split that shit yourself.
9 woofers 9 mids 9 tweeters
Giving you left/right front
left / right rear
left /right side in dipole
left / right subs
and a center channel.........only real 7.1 recordings will take advantage of this set up to it`s fullest ,but a good reciever will be able to split them up for regular listening,by killing the center channel and turning the rest into left and rights.
by the time you get into this level you should be using rack equiptment anyway and be able to controll all of this independantly based on what your listening to.

Here is good read on that subject as it relates to your situation..
http://www.bcae1.com/gaincon2.htm
Basically your are lowering and raising signal voltage ,which acts like a volume knob..but correct settings will produce the best sound which are not the loudest or highest gain.
In a car stereo application you would be trying to match the reciever and then adjusting the other amps to match that.
In a home stereo you might be trying to set a sound stage by making certain speakers louder or matching different watt and different ohm rated speakers because you will be using seperate amplifiers of possibly different brands with different ratings.
Mostly they get jacked all the way up loud in ghetto car stereo rigs trying to run bigger speakers with a smaller amp ,which usually ends up in a fail from clipping..
What it is is voltage ,what it gets used for is variable and can be used for all kinds of fun stuff.
