the amp that goes 0-200 is ur lowpass crossover and should be set around 80hz lower if thats ur taste.

the gain is a adjustment that is near ur 0-200 it adjusts the amout of voltage goes into the amp from the headunit. if ur headunit is 4v you should be about 1/2, if 2v about 3/4 up...

OK, so I'm using too much power I guess, even though it sounds awesome. What kind of amp would you recommend to get the sound that I want?

Update: I turned the bass boost off, filter mode on LP, and turned down the filter frequency to 80hz, but increased the input sens just a little bit and it still hits pretty hard. I don't have the input sens. all the way up or nearly all the way up. I think this is good for now, but if there are any good amps with more power I should consider I will definitely listen.

Thanks man, I forgot about that as I was on my work computer and ebay is blocked.

So, if I got one of those amps it would definitely hit a lot harder and possibly as hard as it's hitting with the bass boost turned on?

And, you think my amp just isn't powerful enough for the sub I'm using?
