[QUOTE="seanzy13, post: 7470938, member: 636287"] Thanks for the info, it was a great help. I will have to locate some bass test CD's perhaps the local electronics store will have something. I haven't listened to real cd's in about 6 years now, so I'm not sure the CD player actually even works. I followed the procedure with the music I had available and I'm very happy with the way it sounds up around 30-35, very clear. The bass sounds good, but sadly I was only able to drop 1 more tick in gain to reach the desired level of bass, i'm now at 0.3v gain (2 ticks from highest possible setting). I shut off BBE, and turned the bass setting of the HU down to +0. Sub level is still set around 9. I'm curious on what I should be doing with the bass adjustment on the HU and the bass boost setting on the amp. I'm not sure exactly how the amp bass boost works, but the HU allows me control over frequency, slope, and obviously bass level, in addition to subwoofer level. Should I perhaps be adding some bass boost and lowering the gain, or is that a bad way to compensate? I still notice areas in the bass response that are a bit low, and I guess to determine where that is I need to obtain a CD with various different freq test tones before I go any further. [/QUOTE]
