Hey y'all, I recently got a 12" Alpine Type-R SWR-1223D and an Alpine MRP-M450 amp. My deck is a Kenwood KDC-MP735U. The manufacturr recommendations for the sub in a sealed enclosure is 14.4.5"x10.5" or 0.90 gross volume and 0.75 net. The box I put it in is 17"x17x11.5". The box also has a 1" slant on both sides so the bottom is 11.5" whereas the top is 9.5" for a gross volume of 1.7 and net volume of 1.25 if I'm not mistaken.
The trouble im having is where to set all my levels as I'm somewhat of a novice and honestly I'm afraid to mess with amp settings cause i love that alpine.
Can any of y'all recommend a good setup with the nobs.
Gain.. Where should I set this?
Bass EQ... 0dB, 6dB or +12dB?
Crossover frequency... Anywhere between 50 and 200Hz.
I have my Type-R set at 2ohms.
In case it matters, this is how i have my Kenwood set:
Bass: -8
Treb: +8
Mids: +6
Sub output: 0
Bal: 0
Fade: 0
Any help would be most appreciated.
