[QUOTE="Captain Kev, post: 3726168, member: 584461"] Turn the HU about 3/4 of the way up while playing a song/tone with a constant bass line. Keep the bass control on the HU at 0. Set the gain on the amp with a DMM if possible. If not turn the gain until the sub begins to distort, then turn it down just a little (shouldn't be more than 3/4 of the way up on the gain). The gains are set good enough if you can control your urge to keep turning up the volume on the HU. If you listen to a variety of music, such as country or classic rock songs with little bass, then you can use the HU controls to adjust up if need be. But not too much. Just listen to the sub, when it starts to distort turn it down. That should give you general idea. I personally wouldn't use a bass control knob. It is pretty much just an extension of the bass boost control. [/QUOTE]
