[QUOTE="dipitydoo, post: 4937253, member: 567383"] Your gain settings are going to depend on the output of your source. Your goal is to maximize usable power up to audible distortion, which minimizes noise, as noise increases with gain. That being said, its best to set up gains on your front stage amp first, then match the output level of the sub amp to allow for smooth transition between your mids and subs. As for the Bass EQ being so high, that might make your sub sound 'boomy' and might clip the amp, but hey, if it sounds good to you, then its should be fine. Play around with it to see if you can improve the sound. [/QUOTE]
