Please explain this to me

as i understand it from this site when i set my gains and what not my HU should be set to Bass 0 and Sub 0.

If that is the case wtf is the point of having sub control in a head unit?

i will never need to turn my Sub off completely but because i occasionally have the wife and kids in the car i need the ability to turn the amount of bass down significantly and i would rather not have to set my d4mn gains every 3 days.

you don't set your sub to zero, you set that to max. If you set it to zero 9/10 times you would have no voltage coming from the sub rca's.

you set your sub level (on hu) to highest possible and your bass, bass boost, etc to 0. then use your dmm to set the gains. you can then lower your hu subwoofer levels as you see fit afterwards.

^This I guess once my amp comes in tomorrow I'll set it with my sublevel at max haha no wonder I needed to turn the amp most of the way up to get to the required number on my DMM.
