[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7407162, member: 576029"] The HPF is for your speakers and independent of your subs. You just removed bass from your speakers with that setting. The HU has a separate sub level control which you can use to adjust sub volume only. If the HU is powering your speakers, then you are limited to how loud they can cleanly play. So you also limit sub volume when you want balanced sound. To get more volume, add an amp for your speakers. To turn down the subs, use the HU's sub level control and turn down the gain. Input sensitivity is used to match your HU output voltage to the amp. If you don't use your full HU volume, you'll never reach rated output voltage. At a 6V setting the gain is minimum since the incoming signal is strong. At a 0.5V setting the gain is near maximum since the incoming signal is low. But turning the gain down (I.e.higher voltage number = counter-clockwise) is fine and won't hurt a thing. Less power is good for subs. [/QUOTE]
