[QUOTE="shredder1, post: 8911640, member: 658920"] I'd expect realistic goals, going from one 1000w amp to another will not yield perceptible gains especially with the same enclosure. No matter the price difference. Id set 80hz lp at the hu /w/ 100hz on the highs to start. Your frontstage is yours to blend with so adjust from there. If your bass knob is inop it may be due to amplifier gains being maxxed out. Max the signal then set gains off of that that level. Bottom line is the simpler you make the signal chain the easier it should be to tune. Set lp at the hu at 80hz, then at 125hz at the amp etc. 100hz hp at the hu for highs then 50hz at the amp etc. Setting levels at the amp by reading voltages was never my thing. I just watch clipping and adjust levels till it sounds good myself. Why overthink a simple process? [/QUOTE]
