[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 4831881, member: 540940"] test tones ARE sine waves. Was your test tone 0dB? What are you listening to that lacks punch? Is it a commercial CD? CD-r/rw's and MP3's are sometimes heavily attenuated. If you set the gain with the same bass boost settings that shouldn't be the problem, but if your HU bass boost has a negative range I would set the gain with it at zero, not the bottom of the negative range. If all else fails just turn the gain up a little bit until it sounds right. [/QUOTE]
