[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1361266, member: 555320"] And you won't, frankly. There are 100 methods for setting a gain. I would advise you to read the gain setting tutorial sticky'd at the top of this section: [URL="http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63933"]http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63933[/URL] If you wish, you may use a -6db test tone instead of a 0db test tone. It will result in more amplifier power being utilized over the entire volume range. The "rated" frequency range of a driver is, for all intents and purposes.....useless. Ignore it. Pretend it doesn't even exist. For speakers (co-axials or components) you only need to highpass the speakers. For subwoofers, you only need to lowpass them (unless you are using a ported enclosure...then a subsonic filter may be necessary aswell). There is no right or wrong when setting the actual frequency.....it's just whatever sounds best. You'll typically want to highpass your speakers around 50hz to 100hz, and lowpass your sub around 50hz to 85hz. And the frequency you highpass your speakers at and lowpass your subs at do not need to "match". If you highpass your speakers at 75hz, you do not need to lowpass your sub at 75hz. Just set them both to whatever sounds best. It's possible, yes. Or, the amp may simply be too powerful for the subs. You can, if no other means are available to you. But following the gain setting tutorial, I think, is a little better than the above method you noted. Whoever said that is totally incorrect. You can NOT arbitrarily set the gain. There are, however, multiple methods for gain setting....which can make it a challenge chosing the "best" method. Very nice. Very nice indeed. Much better conclusion than the typical "yo dawg, is dis shit str8 or what? Holla at me nukka" [/QUOTE]
