[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4765530, member: 592162"] you should have all filters cutting out the least possible (subsonic as low as it goes, LP as high as it goes) while setting gains. On a sub amp I'd use a 40 or 50hz tone, but as long as its not significantly higher than 60hz and preferably above ~30hz it should work fine. if you set it with a -3db tone, your system will be pushing harder once you start playing music on it, but it also leaves more possibility of clipping/overdriving your subs if you aren't giving your amp or subs any overhead. By setting them at 0db, you can almost be assured they will never be pushed beyond that point off of music, as the majority of music averages a few db's under [/QUOTE]
