[QUOTE="heimsothe, post: 8225121, member: 659179"] I have a Pioneer AVH-x2600bt with an 8 band EQ. I'm confused as to where I should set my EQ bands when I set the gain for my sub amp. My thought was to set them at max (12db) when I set the gain, but I've read that the EQ settings should be at 0d or flat when setting the amp gain, it has me confused. I know that my subs aren't going to be playing tones above 120hz so I was thinking the 40-200hz bands would be the ones I focus on when setting my amp. So should I; A) Set the amp gain with the EQ bands at max (12db), B) Set the amp gain with the EQ Bands at flat, or C) Set the amp gain with the Eq set to how I normally have it set? Also if I set it at flat (or anything below max for that matter) is it safe to then bump the individual bands up to get the personalized sound I want? My gut says that would cause clipping. I'm really confused hahah [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] I'm using a 50hz tone to set the gain. Either 0db or -3db, not sure yet. My HU has 8 customizable EQ bands: 40hz, 80hz, 200hz, 400hz, 1khz, 2.5khz, 8khz, 10khz. Thanks, Eli [/QUOTE]
