[QUOTE="zako, post: 7611359, member: 629735"] The DMM method is fine for finding approximately the maximum gain level setting that's safe to use with your subwoofer (and that's questionable, because under the right conditions some subwoofers can bottom out with less than their rated power, even in sealed box). However, I would add that if the DMM method provides too much output, it should always be ok to back down on the gains. As after all "the maximum safe" level of output is not necessarily the output that you need to blend with your front stage. In fact, considering that most people on this forum drive around with overbuilt sub stages, almost certainly the front stage will not keep up and sub gain needs to be backed down below the "DMM method" setting.
