Question about gain setting with o-scope

[RXdriver11 2]

Greetings out there. I have read many write ups and seen many videos about using test tones to set your amp gains with an o-scope. My question is when setting bass amp gains does it matter if you use a 40Hz tone over a 50Hz tone? Each topic on this has used a different tone but never told why. For those who dont know.. yes I am a so please inform me if there is a difference. Thanks..

If you have a scope they why would you use one tone? Use tones from 20 to 60hz and keep adjusting it until you don't have clipping. You can set you amp with one tone at 40hz but move it up to 50 hz and have clipping.

So then I should be using a sweep instead of a single tone, and just watch to see that it dont clip the entire sweep?

I use single tones from 20 to 60hz in 1hz increments. A sweep may work but could be to fast to adjust while its playing, depends on the duration of the sweep.

And where could I find tones from 20 to 60? All I find are 20 30 35 40 and so on..

Don't know that one, I made mine. I would email them to you but its over 250mb.
