gain/HU settings.

[xplicit 10+ year member]

alot of people has been discussing this, and alot of people have gave diff opinions...

when it comes to deep, hard hitting bass, whats the best settings to use for your HU and amp?

i own a kenwood HU, and ive been told setting the bass level, to 0, or even -1 or -2, and setting your gains low, and cranking the VOLUME to the max, would give you the bass your subs deserve?

what r your guy's ways of tweaking or setting your amp and HU to get the bass your lookin for? a pretty interesting subject if you ask me, just plz share your opinions and how you yourself tweak your systems...

thx again fellas, appreiate it.

Well it depends on the music, but generally w/my setup I keep the bass at 0, and the subwoofer control at 6 out of 15 for rap, 10 out of 15 for rock, w/the gains on the 12001. at about 2/3's. The LPF for the sub is at 80 hz the HPF for the speakers is at 80 as well.

I set the gain according to the voltage coming from my HU //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
