[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7431915, member: 634917"] The gains should be off when you are testing it out. I use an oscope to tune systems properly, but the quick way, is turn your volume on 3/4, then turn the gain up till the sub starts to distort, and back it down a little from there. This should be done while playing a 50Hz test tone as an average, or you can play it where xmax is highest and lowest as well. Highest for mechanical limits, lowest for thermal limits, then mark each level, and whichever is the lowestgain setting of those, use that one. But if you then listen to it, and your mids and highs do not keep up, you will want to replace them as well with drivers with higher sensitivity and higher power handling with low distortion. This is why matching sensitivity and impedance is important from the start.so, many people end up doing what I mentioned and it takes them forever to be happy with the sounds because they do not do it right the first time.
