Look at the box your speakers came in. There should be a Frq responce chart. Look at the Dips and Rises these are DB charts.

Turn the gains all the way down. Turn the HU Volume to around 75%. With a DMM RMS meter you will check voltage output across the wire that is off and the connection it would go on.
