Enclosure design, installation, and setup are the primary keys to getting the most from any system home or car.
Start at the head unit first and
use the manual. Please be sure to do these steps with the amplifier off.
Ensure that the crossover (if there is one) is set to off for now. Then ensure that the subwoofer level output from the head unit is set to maximum.
Then turn the amplifier back on. Next ensure your amplifier gain is set to minimum. Make sure that all of the crossover settings are off except for the lowpass crossover. This should be set between 80hz & 100hz or so.
Once this is completed, then with bass heavy music, turn up the head unit volume until you hear audible compression or distortion from the speakers. Back your volume down a little until this compression/distortion disappears. This is now the max volume setting. Then, with the volume at the max setting you just established, slowly turn up the gain on the amplifier until you hear slight distortion. Then slowly back down the gain until you no longer hear audible distortion.
