Just checking on amp settings.

[chambiec1 10+ year member]

I have a Massive Audio p1500.1 pushing my 15" Kicker L7. I installed it a little while ago, but I just wanted to double check on how I should have all the settings on my amp.

I already set my gain with my DMM to run 1000w rms.

I wanted to double check on how I should have my LPF, Subsonic, Freq., and bass boost set(heres a pic):

If box specs matter, its 4.5^3 FT tuned to 34Hz.

If you guys could let me know how they should be set ideally, please do. I just don't want to risk damaging my equipment.

If there are links that I could read up on that would be helpful, also.

If you want the bass boost set it on max then set ur gain with the bass boost frequency.

Isn't bass boost generally seen as bad?

not really if u use it right, you won't clip the signal if you set it before you set the gain.

dont use bass boost. bass boost induces square waves (clipping) which in turn kills subsssss

so...your saying set the bass boost at the lowest possible? not even +4?
