I am running a two way active setup for reference.
I know this subject is covered extensively but I just need a couple clarifications because every thread ends up far from the original point. I know there are better ways but I set gains using a dmm. I know I have to keep the EQ flat but my questions are:
My HU has -10 - +10 speaker level for each speaker. Do i set that to 0 or +10?
For active crossovers, what test tone do I use for my mids? I've heard 150 hz and 1000hz so I'm not sure. I cross them from 80hz - 3.25khz
What test tone for my tweeters? I cross them from 4kz-run off.
Should I use -3 or -6 test tones? I was using 0db but realized i can get more out of my speakers using -3 or -6. I listen to mostly rock and Edm.
I apologize because I know this information is already out there but this will help with my individual case, so thank you
