[QUOTE="3onDubs, post: 1531421, member: 566593"] You're going to want some bass from your mids, but only that bass in the middle frequency (that's why they're called mids). Extremely low frequencies, for example, are only supposed to be handled by subs and normal 6.5's will sound distorted. That is why you have to find the lowest possible frequency that your 6.5's can play before soundind distorted (or rattling). You can set the HPF number after you set the gain....generally the HPF is set between 80 and 100 HZ. You should be safe ar around 90 HZ as a rough guestimate. To set your gains, you don't need a voltmeter...just your ears. Turn up your volume to about 95% and then turn up your gain until you start to hear distortion (start from the minimum gain setting). After you start to hear distortion, turn the gains back down until the sound is clear again and then leave the gain there. You should never touch it after this, but rather, take the opportunity to adjust your HPF. Turn the music up again and then set the HPF to about 70 HZ. The bass will sound muddled and overplayed at loud volumes. Move the HPF up until all the distortion is gone and then leave that there. After that, your all set. You might want to pick a track that has lots of various bass frequencies to be safe. [/QUOTE]
