[QUOTE="Villeza1, post: 7845106, member: 608393"] It's not the best compromise to set the gains correctly is all I'm saying. Best way to do it is to either DMM/ Clamp meter each freq and plot an impedance chart or DATS wt3 and fine the freq that's the median impedance (which is good for compromise). Then find that test tone freq around -5, -10 db recording (or 0 db and use Audacity to reduce output level) and set the gain using that tone. Some people (noobs) won't have a clue how to do this so the best compromise is a 40hz -5, -10 db test tone. Most people (for daily) tune low 30-35hz and have a peak freq around 45-50hz. Choosing a 40hz can be found at or around the median of port and peak freqs and is a good compromise for daily music. You dont want a freq that has the highest impedance or else you'll over power the freqs with lower imp (if amp gain is set correctly). You also dont want a freq with the least imp because it'll be the only freq getting the most power from the amp, every freq with more imp will be getting less and less power from the amp. [/QUOTE]
