[QUOTE="steele6794, post: 8507892, member: 580534"] 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 [/QUOTE]
