[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8508423, member: 628688"] When you set gains for an active speaker setup keep in mind the speaker level setting you mentioned will be used to level match the different speakers. Using test tones on tweeters is dangerous and not necessary. Most tweeters will get painfully loud on very low power, so I suggest starting with the HU's speaker level setting on 0 and put the amplifier gain setting on the tweeter channels at the highest voltage mark(this is minimum gain). If you listen to a lot of music that's very very loud then the -3 dB tone would be sufficient. However, that kind of music gets very fatiguing and you won't have much wiggle room to turn up the volume on the radio for quieter music. The -6 dB tone would be a better choice if you listen to music that's made to sound like realistic voices and instrumentation. Rock music has varied from hugely dynamic to "balls to the wall" loud, so it depends on what you actually prefer. I don't listen to EDM but I imagine it's generally loud most of the time. One last question. Do you have a subwoofer in this system? [/QUOTE]
