[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8601229, member: 673826"] Hmm so I guess I'll stay away from that box haha Sub is facing the front, in line with the driver seat, back against the rear bumper. Question, will I get similar results to the run-it-till-it's-hot method using an oscilloscope or similar? Straight nerd here, gotta do it with an abacus or pocket calculator [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] I've been running this set up for many years now, and only recently installed the new head unit. The sub has always needed some extra EQ to be heard. First time I set its gain, I found the resonant freq of my enclosure using audio test tones. I forget what I came up with, but I just cranked the head unit volume and turned up the sub gain till I heard distortion, then back off a bit. Setting gain with the DMM I did get a lower gain setting, but I figured that was just because the new set up was different.
