My rule of thumb has always been around 80, and no higher. You could do anything from 65 to 85 without much worry, but when you get above that level, your amp will be trying to send sounds to your subs that they just simply don't want to reproduce. If your rap only, go around 65, if you listen to some rock, try about 80 to 85. This will pretty much work out well for most standard setups.

I'm using 125 Hz... seems to work pretty good.

I was using 78 Hz before though, I just now remembered... probably gonna turn it down to 78 again and raise the gain a little.

I turned it down to 78 Hz again and it sounds better. I don't really remember why I put it on 125.
