Volume matching...how do you do it?? (BD-Design)

A very fundamental question:

How do you match the volume from bass cabinets with that of much higher sensitivity horns?

I've got AER MD-3's with 150's would love to hear what everyone is doing.

Right now I've got a pair of JBL 4648 theater bass cabinets (100db.) and they are being fed power from an amplifier who's gain I had increased quite a bit, just so they can keep up with the horns. Btw, my preamp has dual outputs...one set feeding an amp which then feeds the horns...the other preamp outs feed a 160hz filter which then goes to the bass cabinet amp which then goes to the bass cabinets.

I REALLY like the JBL...those drivers are awesome and seem to complement the Oris horns very well.

I'm sure there's an easier way of level matching....I just prefer not to mess with the signal going to the horns if I can help it.

Thanks all!
