[QUOTE="MrBade, post: 7944343, member: 646396"] So I messed with it a bit. I don't have a DMM and until just a few hours ago didn't have a test tone so I still don't have my gain spot on. It's sitting at around 6/11 at this point. But I'm a little unsure of the bass boost thing. My amp doesn't say bass boost, it says punch eq(which I was told was bass boost). It actually seems to have a much larger impact on the subs then the gain honestly. So if it's best practice to not use the bass boost at all, is my unsatisfaction with the sound without it indicate my amp is two small 2 run 2 of them? Type-R's are rated 600W RMS each but I kinda thought that was max RMS. So I'm thinking that my situation now is that since I bought that fosgate amp with running one in mind, now that I have two, it's either going to blow the subs with the bass boost up, or I'm going to not be running them nearly as hard as they can supposedly run. They slam when the boost is used. So my setup now is: Gain - 6-7(Will adjust when I go to a buddies whos got a DMM) LPF - 65 Punch EQ - ......still nearly fully up. Is it a bad idea to adjust those type of settings while blairin' it? I always turned the HU down to zero to be safe but I think it would be easier to to find the right settings while it's slamming rather than silent. [/QUOTE]
