setting gains question

[lostsuspect21 10+ year member]

Would it be bad if I used like 32 hz? Also thanks for all the help guys

also, my head unit has subwoofer level from 0 to 15 should i leave that at zero or....?

the SW output on your HU should be all the way up when setting the gain.

32hz tone probably wont even get you to the 38.72v your trying to reach. stick with the 50hz or go to like 65hz @ 0db. i think i actually used 70hz @ 0db.

shit so i guess i have to re do them tomorrow i have the sw output all the way up now it sounds good i think it could sound better tho ill try to re set them tomorrow with a 70 hz tone, whats the difference with freqs anyway like difference between using 50hz ans 70hz

what would the benefit be of using an higher freq? also what should i have the center freq on my head unit?

Did you try turning you sub woofer gain on cd player all the way up.

do the subs move as if they should be louder?
possibly wired out of phase?

you are also somewhat underpowering them...maybe you overestimated them?

how are they underpowered they are rated for 750rms i am giving mine 800rms a piece and they get loud

also wats the diff in 0db -3db, and -6db when i used the different db's to set my gains they all read the same voltage

You said they were louder when running at 4 ohms but now you re wired them to 1 ohm? I would double check and make sure you didn't wire one out of phase.

Also, I would tune it with the SUB Level at 1/2 (7 or 8) Not at full, I think it gives you better control between tracks.

Bass at 0 (always)

Loud OFF

SLA at 0 (if the deck has it)

I would put center freq at 60 if you can and use a narrow to mid setting (if it has it)

Turn off the filters on the deck as well...only use the one on the amp
