Is everything right???

tomorrow i plan on setting a friend of mines amp...his equipment is a hifonics 1600, a 15"L7 wired at 1ohm, in a 4.4cuft box at 34hz.....after connecting the multimeter to the amps terminals (same ones the speakers gonna be wired to)....i should be reading 31.6 ac volts....(using the subs rms rating)....sqrt(1000x1)....playing a 50hz 0db test tone......SHOULD I LEAVE THE AMPS BASS BOOST ON 0DB???....

but in order to prevent him from sending his sub more power than what i set his amp to...i plan on setting his gains with his head unit's "sub level" all the way up....and "bass" level is at 0...(is this the right way to do it?).....then i'll set his subsonic filter at about 28-30...with his LPF at about 75....would this be the correct way to completely tune his amp????...without an o-scope

I would recommend not using BB, but it isn't a crime to use it a little. It's not SQ friendly.

Keep the LPF under 100 and your good. Subsonic 30-34. And turn the Sub Control all the way down on the head unit. That is a unnecessary precaution.

Bass boost isn't necessary.

so u guys say turn bass boost to zero, sub outs to zero, bass at zero? ok
