Since you are powering subs, switch it to the LPF, and you could set it to about 80, every system will be a lil different. You wont be using the HPF

The level should be the gain, you could set that with a DMM, you could search it.

Bass boost, I usually don't use it at all. But if you find you dont have enough bass, you can turn that up a lil bit. Just listen to the sub while you turn it up, if it doesn't sound to happy when you turn it up, then turn it back down.

Ive never had a amp with subsonic, but I believe you would set it to maybe 20 or 10.

you need to change the remote wire location. yellow is battery constant meaning the amp is ALWAYS on. that is bad. you could go to the red wire so the amp turns off with the car. did you use the blue/white wire from the head unit? the blue wire is power antenna and only on when on radio (not CD).

what HU do you have?

use the 7100BT if you can. it's a nice unit. The 1300 is basic. leave bass and treble at 0, no more than +1.
