N/X + Y with X and Y as a constants. N is the number of the active in cascade. X can be any number, it is just the denominator for the formula. It all depends on how tight a system the company wants. I've swept systems with an N/10 + 1. I've also swept a system that wanted N/2 + 2.5. N/10 + 1 means you are allowed a P/V (Peak to Valley) of 1.1 at the first active, 1.2 at the second active and so on. An N/2 + 2.5 means a P/V of 3.0 at the first active, 3.5 db at the second active and so on. Again, it all depends upon the system specs: how tight do they want their system and how much money do they want to spend on cable, electronics, passives and fittings to make it so.
As for tweaking the pots, I've also been told to "do what is necessary" and I've been told to "DO NOT adjust the boards." Again, it all depends upon what the company wants you to do.
Do you decide the specification or is it provided to you?
