systems hooked up, how to set amp settings???
 
Got everything going good, but im not sure about all the settings on the amp itself like boost, slave, phase, etc. anybody know optimal settings?

im going to assume its a sub amp and sealed box since you didnt say.

set lpf somewhere like 80hz or under, whatever you think sounds good.

phase is there for if your subs are mounted inverted. leave at 0

slave must be for daisy chaining, that would be off

bass boost should be minimal or off

turn gain to lowest setting, turn music up to as loud as you'll listen to it without distortion on a bass heavy song. turn gain up till your subs start sounding distorted, then back off on gain a little.

this is just the old ear method, it can get pretty intense using dmm's and o'scopes, but ive never blown a sub tuning it by ear. just keep the bass clean, the lower your lpf is, the less higher pitched bass you'll get, like in voices and such, sounds bad.

of and if your box is sealed keep the ssf at 0 and if its ported set it around 10hz below box tuning
