Wow...... I'm suprised at these responses......

50hz test tone for sub
1000Hz for mids
10Khz for the tweets

There are a bunch of different ways to set gains. You are like me and use test tones, this way is fine. Of course I'm sure you already know that everything must be set to flat.

To Dannyboy - You will almost NEVER detect clipping in mids and highs by listening to music. Distortion yes but the point of starting to clip no. Using a test tone, clipping is VERY noticable, even without an oscope.
