[QUOTE="Villeza1, post: 7854741, member: 608393"] Basically, if you set the H/U with a 0 db 40hz track, that is the loudest track and will max out the H/U's output at a lower volume level. Which also means that you have to set the gains really low to keep a clipped free signal. Normally recorded music's lower freqs are usually recorded around -24 - (-15) db. So you've set the gains too low and cannot boost the lower freqs to the full potential. Setting the the H/U with a -15 db 40hz track means that the H/U isn't nearly at it's max and when you set the gain on the amp, you're setting it using a low level output so you'll have to compensate for it by cranking up the gain. When you play music that hasn't been bass boosted, this MAY be alright. If all you play is bass boosted, chopped and screwed music, this means that you are clipping the hell out of your signal since you had to compensate boosting a low level output. Bass boosted music usually clips around -6 - (-4) db (which is why the -5 db 40hz recorded track is best for use bassheads).
