Subs? By ear is cheapest. Sometimes hard to tell mids/highs distortion if you have never heard it before.

I set by ear, if you have good ears you can hear the distortion, i dont care what these spoiled ***** tell you. I set my stuff by ear and have yet to burn a set of coils i wasnt going to burn on purpose anyway

Well do you want easiest and cheapest or most accurate? Two different things. Cheapest? Your ears. Most accurate? Oscope.

HUH?
it either clips or it doesn't....it does not get more accurate than that. By ear is the easiest and cheapest way to do it accurately..

I have some oz audio xovers.. When distortion starts they start to light up. Pulse with the music when there's distortion.....

I always set using a dmm. Its quick and easy way to set my gains to match the rms ratings of my speakers. I do add some fine tuning by ear.
When it comes to subs I tend to like to find the max point I can push them. That takes alot of testing by ear. I have yet to smoke a coil on a sub. And I love to beat the living shit out of my subs.

I recently started using an o-scope and man I wish I did so many many years ago!
