Make sure to set crossover OFF when running testing tone, along with bass and treble level like you did before.

Lol... Probably true! I normally set my amps by ear. but setting them by the formulas is really baffling me considering how far off my settings are compared to what other people are using.

Just Curious...Where is this crossover "OFF" when running my test tone? I set my my amp to HPF when testing.

Setting the crossover to FLAT is the same as turning it off.

OP, back to your first post, those crossovers are set at about 240hz. No wonder it sounded like crap. 9:00 or slightly less will get you around 100hz.

That's what I was thinking. Mid way (12:00) is 220hz! I had mine at about 8:00'ish with my Mmats
