[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8416197, member: 650438"] I'll make it easy for you -10 db is for classic rock, corridos, heavy metal and sh*t with very low bass levels. -5 db is for normal music top 100 music, dubstep, edm etc. 0 db is if you are going for burps, or bass enhanced music. Each song will have different bass recording levels. the higher the negative, the weaker the bass in the song will be. Getting closer to 0 will be a very loud bass song. Usually decaf falls into the -2 to 0 db range of music. Youtube bass boosted junk from noobs will have a positive DB level which is basically pure distortion that will burn subs. Kind of the reason why a lot of the newbs that listen to classic rock but got referred to the DMM method of tuning always end up dissatisfied because they are directed to use a 0 db test tone instead of one appropriate for their music library. Here's a vid to find out what db level the bass peaks in your music library is, Leave on annotations [MEDIA=youtube]flu6KsCqLS0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
