need help understanding adv options on my Alpine ida-x100

[RoachForLife 10+ year member]

Hey gang. Ive had this HU for some time and just ignored several features and now Im getting curious and thought I would post on them. The 2 things are in regards to:

-Defeat sound. Ive left this off but is there a reason to use this?

-Advanced sub options to allow for selection of F0 and Q. How do I match these up or should I leave the defaults? Im running an Alpine 1.1000 amp with 2 W6v2 sealed currently. (although I am in the process of going to two SA12s or two TypeRs)

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Defeat means all EQ settings are bypassed, aka turned off/defeated. You can do fast comparisons if you want to hear your music with the factory default settings.

Advanced sub options is your parametric equalizer.

thanks for the link, very informative. Not to too 'spoon fed' but any suggestions on a good starting point for each?

Ok let me ask this. Right now Im using my amp to do the crossover (set at 110). I assume its better to do this in the amp than via the HU? Or should I be doing both? Thanks

If you can get it sounding good with the head unit's crossover use that and set the amp to Full or off. If you're never going to change then do either one, but not both.
