Should I use the double power input my amp brought?

[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8792059, member: 581422"] Here's a quick description of some amp settings: High pass filter - lets HIGH frequencies PASS - attenuates frequencies that are lower than this setting Low pass filter - lets LOW frequencies PASS - attenuates frequencies that are higher than this setting Gain - how much the amp amplifies the audio - simply put: if your subwoofer can handle "xy" watts, x would be your input signal and y would be your gain setting; you adjust gain to give your subwoofer what it wants. A tiny gain adjustment can make a whole lot of difference, especially with a big fancy amp like yours. If you are uncomfortable tweaking it or you just want it done, then a shop is your best bet. If you want to learn to do it yourself, this website is a good source. Ask questions as specifically as you can to avoid mud, jargon, and arrogance. Good luck and have fun! - Joe [/QUOTE]
