[QUOTE="o. l. t., post: 5687759, member: 569202"] Every time you boost at the head unit you have to make double the power to compensate for it. If you boost 3db @ 45 hz it will take twice the power from your amp to produce the frequency without distortion. Distortion hits, so you are adjusting for how hard it hits and really just dialing in the distortion. A proper EQ setup CUTS from the flat line "0" , not ADDS to it. Tune everything to flatline. If you feel like there is not enough bass then you actually have too much mids and tweet in there. CUT the mid and tweet, do not BOOST the bass. Every 3db boost costs you half your power. Every 3db cut SAVES half your amps power allowing it to allocate the power over the frequency spectrum more evenly. There's plenty more to learn, but I'm not typing it up unless I know you're listening.
