[QUOTE="1hawaii50, post: 6177660, member: 593962"] Level is the "gain" adjustment Bass EQ is the "bass boost" HPF is the "high pass filter" LPF is the "low pass filter" The gain is used to "match" the voltage of the amp to the voltage of the head unit Bass boost, I never use, just leave it set to 0 HPF is used for component/co-ax speakers. Setting this only allows the frequency's above the setting to pass through to the speakers. The setting here will depend on the speakers you are using. LPF is used for the sub. Setting this allows only the freguency's LOWER than the setting to pass through to the sub. Again, this setting will depend on the sub you are using, and the lowest frequency that it will efficiently play. I have my HPF set for 80hz for my front comps (Morel Dotech Ovation 6) I have my HPF set for 100hz for my rear co-ax (Arc fs6025) I have my LPF set for 180hz for my Hertz 8" subs I am not using any "bass boost" at all I have not touched my gains yet...all gains are still set to minimum.
