Questions on amp settings...

[tytler32u 10+ year member]

Just did a big install this weekend. Ran 4 gauge to a distro block then to my JL 500/1 and RF T600.4 . Added a Pioneer 3200BT deck and a 24 " flip down monitor. Ran new kicker 14 gauge speaker wire from the fronts for my MA RK6 comps. Not using factory rears, because I dont know how to wire the factory amp into the head unit. I will be adding new speakers and another amp soon to the rear anyways.

I have a few issues...

First, I am getting static on 0 volume from the fronts, it doesnt seem as bad when I turn it up. I grounded the RCAs with wire on the back of the deck, but it is still there. I am going to re do the grounds tonight. How should I tune the T600.4 ? I have it switched to 2 channel and bridged the amp. It runs to a passive crossover. Should I use the HPF or APF, since it is going to the crossover? I am a complete newb when it comes to db and octave stuff as well. How should I have these set?

Oh and on the static thing. It is like that with the car not running, just on acc. It is still static when running, but not alt whine when accelerating or things like that. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Oh and the 500/1 runs a 10 JLw7, but havent noticed any static with that. Probably wouldnt anyway at that low of a frequency.

Describe all amp settings. Turn down amp gains and noise will get quieter.

Hpf for the front comps. The passives don't remove low bass. Set HPF around 80Hz
