I have a 97 Camry. CDT EF-61 w/ 1" tweets in front. Kenwood KFC-6990ie 6x9 2-way in rear deck. CDTs are powered by Aura RPM2300 2x150W amp, Kenwood 6x9s are powered off Alpine CDE-9852 HU.
I'm planning to use the -3db test tones found here: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164136
How would I go about doing this if my fronts are powered off amp and rears are powered off HU. The amp has gain control and crossover frequency, HPF or LPF, ranging from 30-300hz with 18db/octave slopes. It also has variable bass boost from 0-10 db at 45hz. Is it recommended I use bass boost? And which crossover should I use, HPF or LPF for the amp?
I'm planning to just play the -3db test tones with everything flat and raise amp gain, and leave HU alone. What frequency should I use for test tones? 10hz? I don't see a 1hz there. Or should I set the gain for the amp with HU off then turn amp off and set gain for rear speakers with HU?
I'm quite new at this, so thanks for the help!
Edit: Found some nice test tones here: http://www.realmofexcursion.com/downloads.htm
Which one's should I use? I tend to listen to R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Techno, and Trance.
