Help Me Tune My Subs With My Amp

[O.I.C Napster]

Guys,

I trying to tune my subs to get it sounding good deep base but still clear if u get what i mean.

I got 2 x pioneer 12'' running them with a pioneer 700w mono amp.

The controlls on it are Low pass filter, bass EQ and Gain.

Not sure really whats the best to have them on.

Info on how they really work and maybe a few suggestions would be neat

turn the bass EQ to its flattest setting. turn the low pass as low as it will go, and turn the gain as low as it will go.

gradually turn up the gain until the level of bass matches the rest of the music. you shouldn't really be able to hear "the subwoofer", it should just sound like music with more oomph than it had before. next, turn the low pass up until the bass frequencies are as smooth as possible and it blends in nicely with your door speakers (ie, there are no "missing" bass notes (if there are, raise the low pass freq) and no "accentuated" bass notes (if there are, lower the gain or lower the low pass freq).

that's how I would set it up anyway.. generally EQ is best left flat unless you really know what you're doing - you'll end up with a lot of "one note" bass.
