Different voltage readings

test tone in the 40-60 hz range either -3 (safer) or -6 (louder) dB.

Is that for both the comp and the sub?

That's for the sub. For the comps, 1kHz and -6 should do you well.

-6 is the best, even with ur lpf set you'll prolly never hit clipping unless you ran it full range

Okay, last time to make sure everything is correct.

Amp: Alpine MRP-F450 (70x4, 200x2) [4 ohm]

Comp: Pioneer Rev (60W)

Sub: Kicker TC10 (which is basically a Kicker C10 in their box) [150W]

Test tone: -6dB 1KHz for comp, -6dB 50Hz for sub

15.5V (60W) for comp, 24.5V (150W) for sub

LP and HP on amp for comp and sub: ~80Hz for both

I will set EQ before I set the gain, with "BASS EQ" on amp off for the sub.

One problem though, I can't find any -6dB test tones.
