Custom Trunk Setup almost done. What settings??

[ConradoR]

I just finished my custom trunk. Now, I was wondering if some of the audio experts could help me with the amp settings. The sub/amp specs are below. After I get it adjusted I can installed the plexiglass and the accent lights.

Amp: Audiobahn A8000T

• 1600W Max, Intake Series Monoblock Amplifier

• RMS Power Output:

• 400 watts x 1 chan. @ 4 ohms

• 800 watts x 1 chan. @ 2 ohms

• Max Power Output: 1600 watts @ 2 ohms

• Class A/B MOSFET Circuitry

• PWM MOSFET Power Supply

• 4-way Protection Circuitry: Thermal, Short Circuit, Overload and DC Offset

• Speaker level (high-level) inputs

• Preamp outputs

• Nickel-Plated Block Terminals

• Variable Bass Boost Control: 0-18dB @ 45Hz

• Variable Low-Pass Crossover: 50-120Hz

• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 100dB

• Frequency Response: 10Hz-40kHz

• Variable Subsonic Filter: 20-50Hz

• THD: 0.02%

• Phase Control: 0 or 180°

• Input Sensitivity: 200mV-8V

Sub: Alpine 10 TypeR

10 Inch

Impedance (Ohms): (4+4)

Power Handling (RMS watts) Up to 300

Peak Power Handling (watts) 1000

General:

Sealed .65 cubic feet box. Alpine recommends .5-.8cuft.

I wire both positive ends with the positive input, and all neg. to neg.

I would like to keep it to a level that is not so deep that I lose most of the range.

I also understand that I have to fine tune it according to my car, but I believe that once I have an initial setup, I can tweak it from there.

Thanks

1)X-over: LPF or Full?

2)LPF (Twist knob): btw 50 to 120?

3) Bass boost: 0 or 18db?

4)Phase Shift: 180 or 0?

5)Sub sonic: On or Off?

6) Sub Sonic (Twist Knob): 20 or 30?

Once it's set up, and I place the pglass+accent lights, I'll snap some pictures and post the end result.

1)X-over: LPF

2)LPF (Twist knob): 80

3) Bass boost: 0

4)Phase Shift: Experiment which one sounds better

5)Sub sonic: On

6) Sub Sonic (Twist Knob): 20

Seems like you have a lot of power going to that 10. Your amp is 800w @ 2 ohms, so be careful with the gain.

Anyone else with an input?

Should I go ahead and use the levels recommended by rc10Mike?

Thanks!
