[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 423419, member: 544843"] my subs are jl audio 10w3 10" 250w. sealed box. i've tried 80 for some songs, but in my experience it usually just ends up making everything quieter, but if the song has muddy bass its going to stay muddy no matter the crossover. i tried using salt shaker to tune this afternoon before i went to work... set it at 45, turned all eq and everything to 0 (including sub output level), and played with the amp gain until it had a nice lingering boom but wasn't excessive. then i knocked my volume back down to standard 40 listening level and bumped the sub output to +6 and the global low end to +2. sounds good, though i was listening to a crystal method cd on the way home and noticed a couple songs that had a bass drone throughout most of the song, punctuated by the thumps of course. it sounded good, didnt drown out anything, didnt hurt my ears, but is that bad for any of the equipment? should i turn down the crossover and/or sub output when songs like that come on? just wondering. havent gotten around to the sine wave thing yet. btw correction in my last post: reasonable should be UNreasonable.
