[QUOTE="diminishedpower, post: 2982487, member: 553818"] Good chance where you had your LPF set at it was cutting off some of your upper end, or the other thing is higher notes sound louder, your subs aren't louder they just sound like it because there playing higher frequencies. And as for the -3 db thing its stated best in the gain setting tutorial but short answer is music will never hit 0 db so you are losing some sound, highest that notes have seen is -3 within music so even on those songs i wont be clipping, so i get more performance at my top sound by using -3 db. Some use -6 db because that -3 db is very rare to hit, and when set at -6 db tuning the only time you clip is on the quick notes that hit -3 db and so you get more performance but subs slightly clipping on some rare songs. Thats why i choose -3 db more performance over 0 db and very rare still to clip. Guess that wasnt so short [/QUOTE]
