glad to hear it was an easy fix!
those 2 things can make a huge difference by adjusting them just a hair.

these are the directions I've found to serve me well (assuming your amp is driving your subs):
-make sure you have the amp crossover set to LPF
-without your subs firing, turn the volume of your head unit to 90% of the loudest you listen to your music (100% would be when your speaks start to clip, not maxing out the head unit)
-turn on your amp(subs) and tune your input level on your amp so that you get a nice crisp punch without any clipping

voila!
now you are getting the most from both your head unit and your amp



thanks, I need to do this too. My sub clips alot.... so the gain down and the bass boost up? what eq settings should it be on? or jus put it on whatever I listen to?
