[QUOTE="Beatin', post: 8244523, member: 646085"] I set gains with a DMM and 0db tones and I've had nothing but success. I bass boost every single song I have. It's the peaks in percussion drums in my rap music that reach 0db. The bass lines are almost always -3db and lower. I use 0db because it's a great reference point to use. For example 30/50 on my HU will net me 1000watts at 0db, but bass lines will be using up 250-500wrms. 35/50 on my HU doubles the power, so now the peaks are 2000watts and bass lines are between 500-1000wrms. I know exactly how much power is being produced at all times. [/QUOTE]
