[QUOTE="c_james_s, post: 5323521, member: 604946"] hey, my approach is somewhat less technical and doesn't use as many gadgets and gizmos but here it goes. I would never use bass boost or the loudness feature. bass boost and loudness add extra distortion and make your setup sound bad. most of the time people use those features because they don't have a big enough amp and want more out of it. if you find that the sound is not to your liking and you don't have enough bass than that might be a sign to get a bigger amp. I would leave everything hooked up and tune it that way. I could give a lot more pointers on how to tune it if you want. 80 hz is a good crossover point. I would set the crossovers for my components at around the same point too so there is no loss or dead spot is sound. you may also want to slightly go a little higher on the sub amp and a little lower on the 4 channel since the crossovers don't stop at exactly that point, they roll off. also never use the deck to set crossovers, do it at the amp. the amp has much better crossovers than the head unit and will be more accurate.
