The knobs dont have numbers. They do have six lines, 1 being min., 6 being max.

Any idea where the knob should be as far as in between the 6 lines?

with the LP ranging from 40-240
1/2 way should be 140hz, 1/4 should be 90hz, so somewhere just shy of 1/4.
Gain is set relative to the voltage of your HU pre-amp outputs. That can be anywhere from ~2v to 5 or more depending on your HU.
The range on that amp is from .150v to 7v.
1/2 way would be ~3.4v, 1/4 is ~1.6v.
