Which test tone should I use (for sub amp)?

0db @50hz or -4.6db @45hz

Or is there a better one? (setting this for daily driving).

Thanks!

no music is 0db loud

rarely is music -3db loud

most music is -10 to -3db loud... thus i put ~50 songs peak db in a calculator and took the average, which was -4.6db

cheap multimeters are geared towards 50-60hz since most are bought for household uses, but an amp should remain linear as well as the meter, so any tone could be used

if you have a spl/burp vehicle most use a tone the same frequency as their cars peak

0db is stupid, ur system will be quiet

-3db is fine, and works great for most people

-4.6 helps with quieter songs

-5 is what Rockford Fosgate suggests to use when u buy an Rf360.2 (@40hz)

my 2cents
