[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 3393966, member: 570419"] The part where you used a DMM and then used a -6dB test tone. Use your ears and use your eyes; learn what a clipped signal sounds like at around 70hz and then set your gains with no crossovers on. Then make sure you're not going to over drive the sub mechanically by playing 0dB tones around the peak excursion frequencies. Then know what those 0dB tones sound like while you are sitting up in the cabin. Don't exceed this when listening to music. Many songs will be recorded low and some will be recorded close to 0dB (most of Jeezy's songs are very close to 0dB as are many other rap songs). [/QUOTE]
