The tone should be at least 1/3 octave away from any crossover frequencies.

I send my T39's 40Hz-90Hz. I use a 60Hz tone to set the limiter.

iirc the high pass for a single pair of T39 at full power is 45hz.

one final question before tomorrow night...I have my dcx-2496 configured again, at least it's workable at this point...I didn't get to borrow a voltmeter from my friend to set a new limiter on the crossover...I did make a few changes in gain on the crossover but not much...is it safe to say I can use my last limiter setting from old crossover unit and at least be somewhat protected...and I guess my question is this, for those that don't use limiter...will I see the clip light come on my crossover to at least give me warning to turn things down a bit?? and should I just keep my old limiter setting turned on for tomorrow night and just monitor it?? thank you
