[QUOTE="BlkonBlkFG, post: 2367268, member: 570948"] I guess I have alot of learning to do in order to understand this stuff. when you guys talk about tones such as 0dB @ 60 hz. I understand that this is a 60hz frequency but what exactly is the 0dB? I thought a dB was a level of noise. So why does it keep going down? -3dB , -6dB, etc....and why the lower it goes does it have a better chance of "clipping" your equipment ? Another thing i dont understand is how or what these octaves and slopes are. So you have a 12dB slope and 18dB slope on your amp. How does this stuff effect the sound and how can i understand it so that i can set my amps and headunit properly to sound good? [/QUOTE]
