Hi im new to this and, looking for some help with my car sound system. My Head unit is the Pioneer DEH-P4000ub. And i installed a 4 channel amp with all new speakers and ive dynmatted my trunk. I have a Kenwood KFC-3011 12 sub around 400 rms. The amp I have powering that is the Bazooka ELA 500.1 which i believe is about 350 rms. According to crutchfield the amp should be 3/4 the subs rms. My problem is im not sure when tuning it, are all the settings of the Head Unit supposed to be flat? For instance on the headunit it gives the options for the cut off volume for the sub should it be the same as my lpf on the amp? 80 hertz? As well as the level which ranges from +6 to -24 which im assuming would be the gain? not sure what to do there. Lastly it gives the bass boost option as well 0-6. I have a clue how to tune it from the amp, just not sure the headunit. If possible it the Pioneer comes with the 3 band equalizer for low, mid, hi, i understand what the q factors by boosting or cutting off by certain frequencies but just looking for some opinions.

Low:40HZ-80HZ-100HZ-160HZ
Mid: 200HZ-SOOHZ-1KHZ-2KHZ
High: 3KHZ-8KHZ-10KHZ-12KHZ
Qfactor
2N-1N-1W-2W
2n stands for (steep/narrow around desired frequency)
1n stands for(less steep/narrow around desired frequency)
1w stands for(less steep/wide around frequency)
2w stands for(steep/wide around frequencey)
each frequency has the option to range from +6 to -6
if someone could help me please deeply aprreciated
