i checked my amp, and it has a button for selecting input volts.
it says 100mv-2v, and 2-8v.
is that normal?

Button??? Turning knob, yes. Button ? 
You find out what level your RCA's are. This is determined by your source (head) unit. It will be in the manual / instructions, or find out off the manufacturer. Hypothetically say your source unit had 5V RCA's, your level knob goes from 2V to 8V so it would be halfway.
If you dont know what you've got then a very simplistic process for matching amp's to source units is...
1. Make sure source unit equaliser is set to flat. Ie no bass boost etc.
2. Turn up VOLUME on source unit to approx 3/4 volume
3. Turn up amp LEVEL slowly until distortion begins to occur.
4. Back the level off very slightly or until all audible distortion disappears.
I prefer to do this usually with a heavy metal / rock track because i find this type of "music" most punishing.
If you have a sub-RCA then set that to approx 3/4 when tuning too.

there you go dude... thats your answer!
