No not a dummy, I was in your shoes less than a year ago and I just started watching YouTube videos and researching. When I was a teenager in the 90's I only understood up to needing crossovers but had no clue what the gain dial did or anything else. Im pretty sure I got lucky or was so paranoid that I had everything set well below their potential.appreciate the info! sounds like im a dummy cause i would set my gain on my amp to max with a remote knob hooked up and just turn the bass up until i thought it was right.
You did well coming here first.
