You hardly need as much power as you do with a passive but it&#39;s definitely nice to have headroom of course. So what I normally do is straight up turn my gains for the tweeter at 0 gain regardless of power. I&#39;ve had to attenuate my tweeters in every active setup I&#39;ve had through my headunit so there&#39;s no need to even turn the gain up IMO. Now when it comes to mids, that&#39;s where you have to use your ears. Gonna take multiple tries but try to match it up with the tweeter as much as possible and slowly turn the volume up to hear if theres any distortion with your music at high volumes. With the sub I would go ahead and use the DMM method or ears, not that hard to blend in once you have the front stage where you want it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
