[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8040899, member: 645990"] I tuned mine with music using a DMM. Tuned with various bass music that had a majority of frequencies ranging from 30-50hz. I'm giving 1100W @2ohms so that meant I was hitting max power at around 47v. And because the tracks I was using had a lot of notes that droned on for a bit I was able to tune with the DMM fairly accurately across a broader range of frequencies quickly. I know it's not the most professional and accurate way of tuning but it seemed to work out pretty well for me. And just cuz you tuned to max power with a 40hz droning tone doesn't mean your going to max it out with every song. I tuned with bass music to 47v but when I play rock and metal, even though it seems like its hitting really hard its only hitting about 20-30v so when I play that music I know I have some headroom so I just turn up the sub volume a few ticks on the head unit. Mainly once I tuned it with the DMM for a rough maximum I just use my ear and the HU to adjust the sub a little bit to bring it up or down (since I don't have a bass knob) [/QUOTE]
