[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 2113419, member: 546465"] You want to use the same db for each. SO if you used -3db for mids and highs then use -3 for subs. The problem that I found was I believe my voltage meter read over 50 volts (amp rms's @ 1600 @ 1 ohm)when I had the gain turned all the way down on the amp and the gain knob at the cockpit turned to max and the hu sub output turned to max. I then hooked up the sub and very little volume came from it. I then turned it up a little bit at the amp and the sub put out good output. I think I may just turn the gain knob in the cokcpit to minimum and never use it and then set the gains on the amp using the voltage meter and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
