[QUOTE="Huge2na, post: 8126104, member: 655268"] copied and pasted---------> There is no way to make a hertz to watts conversion. This is due to the simple laws of physics. Simply put, hertz is a measure of frequency and is usually represented in cycles per second. Watts, on the other hand, is a measure of power. They are closely related however. This is easily seen in when looking at radio stations. When a station has a certain number of watts, or power, that creates a certain frequency for their transmission. The frequency is where they are located on the radio dial. My words------------> Hertz is only cycles per second, the 40hz tone pulses are longer therefore causing your amplifier to make more energy (volts) The 50hz tone is pulsing quicker and has shorter pulses. People swear by using different methods of setting up their system, some use RTA's some use SPL meters, some use the DMM, in the end it is what comes out of the speakers that matter. I used a low level spl meter and tuned my system at low volume. And dont forget your gains on your amplifiers are not volume controls. They should be matched to your input voltage accordingly.
