Not sure if this is in the right spot. If my box is tuned to 33hz should I use a 33hz test tone when setting my gain?

No use a 50 or 60 hertz tone

Whats the difference of using a 33hz vs 50hz test tone?

50ish is where your sub will peak when your box is tuned to 33ish Hz. Theoretically 50hz is where your sub will have the most output i.e. be the loudest.

I take your word, where can I get a -3db 50hz tone?

If im correct you need a 0db 50 hz test tone and you can get all the tones you need at http://www.realmofexcursion.com

Most DMM's aren't accurate below ~50Hz

'Audacity' is a free sofware that lets you make your own tones

Setting the input gains has nothing to do with what kind of enclosure the sub is in.

So should I still use a 50hz tone or?

i am talking about the enclosure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif if the tuning is close to 33hz then the fs of the speaker will peak close 50hz.
