help on settings for a hifonics bx1000d

[the dawg 10+ year member]

I have a hifonics bx1000d brutus series amp for my Alpine 12" type-r. Any suggestions for crossover settings would be helpful. There is 1 set of rca inputs but they are not color coded red and white (they are both black)?? Confused on all of the adjustment settings also.--Thanks for any help on these settings.

LPF - around 90hz

SSF/HPF - around 25-32hz, depending on enclosure

Gain - Whatever it needs to be, gain setting tutorial.

Boost - Zero

The RCA's don't matter on this PARTICULAR amp because its mono. If it were 2 ch or more, to keep stereo correct youd wanna make sure you had the Left in the LEFT and the Right in the RIGHT.

Also this amp has a phase 0-180 adjustment. What should I have this set to?

Hooked up the bx1000d and bass is not hitting as hard as I thought it would. My settings on the amp are : Lowpass around 90 ; Subsonic at 0 ; Bass Boost at 0 ; Phase at 0 ; Gain(Voltage) around 4 volts(little over halfway) . Any ideas on settings that would make the bass hit harder and tighter?? This is in my '97 Grand Cherokee , the sub is in a small sealed box sitting over the right wheelwell facing the other wheelwell(side firing). Any suggestions on settings or sub placement that would make the sub hit harder and tighter???

Head unit is a Pioneer Premier deh-mp480.

Maybe a bigger box?? Is 1.0 cubes(what I have now) big enough for a 12" type-r ??

^ I take it thats sealed....right? Maybe bigger or ported. Most say the R's shine in ported boxes.

I've never made a ported box. Any ideas on where I can get some plans to build one?
