[QUOTE="zako, post: 8060875, member: 629735"] I have no idea whether leaving sub connected or unhooking it is better (I heard JL Audio manuals recommend to unhook the sub). I do like to mention that it's a good idea to use a test tone no louder than -5dBs. Normal music reaches -5dBs, and those peaks are short-lived. Well recorded music normally reaches only -10dB. Setting gain level with 0dB test tone will just waste the output potential IMO. [/QUOTE]
