What should I have the different frequencies set at? Im asking about the frequencies available for subs only. Should I leave all of these at 0? Also, I thought there was a sub level control, but Im not seeing it.

frequency should be at about 80 hz. slope imo was good at 12db's. i usually left the level at 0.

Where do you get to the level control?

what "mode" you got it in? if its "Std"(lol) twist the knob to the pic of the sub then move it up and down if i remember right.

i have mine at 63hz with a -18 slope although i find

myself cheating most of the time and switching it up

to 80hz...

my level goes anywhere from -6 to 0 depending on

what kind of music... obviously BME click or Late Nite Tip

need thier bass set more conservativly than a Nirvana record.

yea right now I am keeping mine at 63 with a 18 slope and the level is set to -4

Where do you get to the level control?

While you are on the screen where you adjust the LP freq, use the up and down on the multi-function knob (right knob). You should be able to adjust the level up or down.

I am using 80Hz with an 18db slope for my S8L7.

i have mine set around -10 or 11, cause i never got the oscope out yet to set the gains after switching from my eclipse

I have my about 0 depending on if i want more thump, but i only have one 12. most of it depends on where your gain is set on the amp. so how was the change from the eclipse? i went from a 8454 to the 860.

What Im wondering is if there is a sub level control, or if the sub level is set by the available frequencies.

were u see the freq is the control, right below the freq you will see like 0 or -1 +2 etc. on the right knob push it up or down and that will control the level of the sub.

i changed from the 3402...not really a fair comparison

the pioneer blows it away in every way

63hz -5db and 24db slope

that's in pro mode, i think that would be equal to about 0 in standard mode b/c in pro mode i can't go above 0, but if i remember right in standard you can

I have mine at 80hz and the either between -10 or -14 going to my 500/1 to my 12w6v2

I LOVE the 860mp

it really does have everything to do with where the gains are

set on the amp...

i set mine up with a 50hz test tone at -12 where it would not

clip... with actual music i can turn it up close to 0 with no

clipping... im planning to set it around -14 or so, so i would

never turn it up passed 0...

i drive around with a muliltmeter hooked to my amp daily so

im always watching my voltages... the sub level control seems

to increase the voltage slowly at first and then more aggressivly...

as if a particular song is only at 6 volts or so and turn the sub

level up 1 knotch it will increase by like a volt or so... but if youre

already pushing 25 volts through it... 1 more knotch on the

sub level control will bump it up by 3 or so volts...

so be careful once it starts getting loud... that sub level thing can

get you trouble quick if you play with it too much...

standard mode goes to +6... i dont know about network mode...

i love the 860 also.
