don't use bass boost it's just distortion at higher volume.. gain setting is determined by input voltage from your hu.. way to set that is with a volt meter.. most of the time if hu has 4-5v preamp about 1/4 of the way maybe tad more is normally right but it does depend on amp, if u have 2v outputs or factory head unit can be anywhere from like 35%-65% gain.. some shops can set it for u but don't pay for that unless the are using a distort detector or something.. other things is do u have xovers set? hp around 80-100hz for speakers, lp for sub?

But you see you make fun when people don't know it sounds clear as **** and was better than the stock Bose sorry it's not a 5000 watt precision power

And one more quick question I have a jl audio 12w 3v3- 4 when I hook it up it hits but it's like a crackling sound people have told me it's a coil it's like a 200-300 speaker is it worth trying to get it fixed

Have you tried gently not to hard pressing in and out of the woofer cone to see if you hear or feel it rubbing? You have to apply even pressure not to much to one side ..it should be fairly tight and smooth and move back and fourth without feeling any rubbing
