[QUOTE="dtavano, post: 3548580, member: 575039"] No, you should DL the song. In the bridge of it there is like a 20 second period of continuous pure bass tones. I guess for instances like that I just have to turn down the volume? Do you listen to rap music, and if so do you listen to it at the volume level you set your gain to with the -10db test tone? Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to blow my subs. Oh wait, I have one more question. Is this safe even if I set my LP to, say, 120Hz @ 12db/oct? I "blew" my fronts awhile ago and have been using crappy alpine type s coaxs(got it for 25 bucks) so I like to give them a little help. I'm starting to suspect that I didn't "blow" them in a traditional manner because one of the coax speakers seems to be "sticky"; it won't play at periods of time and I have to turn the volume way up to get it "unstuck" and playing. It's a POS so I don't really care, but is that what could happen if a speaker was blown in a traditional way(clipped signal/too much power?) OK, now I'm going way out of the scope of this thread lol. Haha, sorry I've hijacked the thread :P but this is killer info. that I imagine anyone reading it would benefit greatly from considering everything else states 0db reference level.
