[QUOTE="tniemuth95, post: 8354316, member: 659253"] Hey all, So I've got my gain properly set on my amp by using a DMM and now I'm on to setting my filters. I've got a 4 channel amp with 2 channels to the front speakers (its a truck so only fronts are amped) and 2 channels bridged to a Alpine sub in the rear. My question comes to setting the filters using test tones though. Say I want to set my LPF at 80 hz. Can I just play a 80 hz test tone and adjust the filter just until I can't here the sound from my sub? Can I do the same with my speakers except in reverse? Raise the HPF just until I can't hear the tone from the front speakers? Essentially I'm confused on how people measure exactly what they have their filters set at. Sorry if this is a noob question but I didn't see anything in the stickies that helped me. Thanks! Note: I don't have access to an oscilloscope or anything, just test tones and a multimeter.
