[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 3342742, member: 540940"] yup Sounds like a one band 80hz EQ. I would set that to the middle of its range to set the amp gain. That way you can modify the bass up or down from the HU depending on the song. agreed Again - I would set it at zero while you set the gain - do what you think sounds the best after that. just think of the (+)'s and (-)'s as one (+) and one (-) with two places to connect your sub wires -- since that's exactly what you have, but I can't say for sure if your subs are wired right based on your description. Hopefully you have dvc 4's wired down to 1 ohm (being that you're setting the gain for 2000w) phase is good level - sounds good going up to 48...yeah, that should be ok. Besides, hardly any music is recorded at 0db, so to get the most out of your amps playing music you have to go slightly higher with the gains. Just be aware of clipping when you're near full volume. Lower if anything on the bass eq. Subsonic sounds ok - technically it depends on your enclosure. If it's sealed 15hz is fine. If it's ported it's supposed to be set relative to the tuning of the enclosure, but 1/4 of the way up should be fine either way unless you have a ported enclosure tuned fairly high and you're in the habit of blasting 20 hz tones all the time.
