What are good controls to set the amp at? I listen to hiphop and techno a lot. Im talking about

The bass boost? LPF? and Input Sensitivity?

Thanks for the help!

 

bass boost up a hair maybe 1/4 way
LPF at 80hz
Gain/sensitivity where you see fit, more isnt always better, dont drive it into clipping

 

just change the settings and figure out what sounds best to you

 

I tried everything you guys said but it still doesnt seem right, I believe its something from the radio. What should I have these settings set at? See the thing is i had my amp installed a while back when i had the shaker radio, so they used a line out convertor for the amp. So i cant use the sub woofer output to control the subs. Here is what I have now:

 

turn the highpass filter off thats ur problem, u really need to get rid of the LOC and run rcas directly to your headunit

 

manual?

I know, I know, I know... sometimes you just gotta actually read it

 

ok so now my sub is directly connected to the radio. I can control the sub from the headunit.

So now I have the EQ set to powerful, should i turn both HPF and Loudness off on the headunit?

and then keep the amp at 80hz and now mess around with the gain?

 

also how would i connect my shakers now?
