[QUOTE="nu2spl, post: 7956553, member: 591529"] go 0db on everything man and im going to tell you to use 60HZ i know there are people on here that are going to argue and say im wrong,but im not,the output of an amplifier is A/C voltage and A/C current,60HZ is the natural frequency of A/C voltage here in america.( its 50HZ in Europe) thats why home electronics always say 50-60HZ. its better to use 60hz for that reason.i mean its really much more complicated than that but thats it in a nutshell.and the reason you want to set everything at 0db is because if you set it at -3db and you want to crank it up you will more than likely reach 0db,well at 0db you will be clipping very much bad,so if you set it at 0db and you want to crank it up it wont be as hard on your equipment BTW im graduating with a degree in Residential and commercial electric,so i know how A/C behaves in a given scenario.
