it will say so

-3, 0 or +3 usually

some say use -3 since music is not as loud as sine waves so to compensate u set gains with a wave closer to one in regular music... not bass mechanik style sines

i use 0 tho

Ok guys I used my dmm and used a 50 hz tone from reo and set my amp to 48.20 on the dmm so it should give me 2400 watts. Do I need to subtract my pre amp output from that?. So it should be set to 40.20?

straight up DC current will lock up your motor = bye bye sub....

and iso, although the ear method works, why not encourage them to do it the more correct way, esp since its a new learning experience :)
