[QUOTE="BWareofDWare94, post: 5172581, member: 603336"] I am really new to this car audio stuff and I am not quite sure exactly how my amp should be set. I have the stock Bose system in my car with 1 12" type R powered by an MTX 600XD. I also still use the stock HU in the car. The box is ported and tuned to around 33 Hz. The original settings that my installer placed on my amp are as follows: LPF: Around 80Hz Subsonic: 50 Hz (As high as it goes) Gain: 0.8V I have the headunit at -5 bass and +5 treble and find myself adjusting the bass knob during each different song, which I heard is not good because turning the bass knob up too much can cause damage. What I want is to be able to have my bass on the headunit at 0 but when I set the bass to 0, since my stock bose amp and MTX amp are connected using a Hi Lo converter, the bass gets really loud and that is with the remote bass knob as low as it will go. With the bass on the HU set at -5 and am missing a lot of mid bass. What I am basically looking for is to have my remote bass knob around 30% and the HU bass set at 0 and to be able to leave it around there during all the songs I listen to. I know you guys can't exactly tell me what I want my settings to be but I was just looking for some kind of help. BTW I listen to mostly hip-hop music but also listen to some rock music if that helps at all. [/QUOTE]
