[QUOTE="Fuzion64, post: 8524766, member: 658588"] I never thought about this, but you are right. I am used to hard slamming bass when playing my music whether its from a stereo setup, a boom box, a surround sound system, and so on. The flat frequency does not actually sound good to me. Which is why I asked about bass boost. I also was unaware the bass boost only adjusts the 40hz range bass. Its strange, because without bass boost on the rear view mirror doesn't shake, which I guess isn't a big deal. Its just what I'm normally used to when listening to car audio. Yep i first used a 40hz 0 db test tone, then I found out when using a tone on a subwoofer amp it should be a 60hz test tone. I will set it up properly, I did it with the test tone method, because crutchfield recommended doing it this way. Then I did the multimeter method to see how much of a difference it was.
