You set you subsonic (think that's the right one) to about 32hz and for setting gains you need a dd-1 or a oscilloscope

142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at)

141 on music.

I wouldn't set subsonic that high. Usually you wanna set it 10hz below your tuning frequency, so in your case 28hz. And your low pass filter to about 80 hz. Also to set your gain you don't need a dd-1 or oscilloscope. They would make it 100 times easier but you don't need one. I usually set mine by ear which is a bit hard and takes some time but once you learn how to do it, its fairly easy. It takes time though for example I set my gain over a week long period and finally got it right where it needs to be. I tested it with a dd-1 I borrowed from a friend and it was 98% perfect. Anyways. Subsonic to 28, low pass to 80 or so, and as far as gain dd-1 or oscilloscope would be best but if you don't have access to either you can do it by ear. Just don't use a dmm. They don't work at all.

For started

By the ear-o-meater is crap and fales to get full potential without clipping

To say 5 or 10hz under is also wrong for subsonic

You want to set to the -3 of you setup

Weather it be 1hz to 15hz+ the -3 is where you need to be

And same for the upper end with the LPF

Depending on your box and mid/high setup

I've done systems set at 125hz

Without knowing more about system, where just pissing in the wind,

But until you can get time to post

Bass boost off

Gain low like no more then 1/8

LPF approx 70hz

Subsonic 35hz if you have

This is a very safe setting and should avoid clipping with the little info given

all these settings that you mentioned are on the amps right? has nothing to do with the settings on my head unit?

dont mean to jump in,but why is tuning with a dmm wrong? everywhere I've ever heard of tuning says use a ddm! and if you have it on your amps use it! i always do it exact on my amps then a Lil higher on my hu. ex if my hpf on my amp is 100hz the setting on my deck is 120hz. but if your deck or amp doesn't have the filter use the other.

jvc deck

stinger 1800 front

hc 2000 kinetic rear

2 runs of 1/0g

big 3/4

ct 60.4

2 ct 1400.1

ct EXO 15 d1

lots of deadner

type r comps front stage

6 kicker tweets rear stage

lots of great stuff

coming soon

ho alt

more bats

ct comps for front stage

more deadner

sweet amp rack

lots of L.E.D lights

new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
