have installed a Sony CDX-GT330 with Xplod speakers X 4 and added a Kenwood 600 watt amp driving a Bazooka tube. My question is this, as I have reviewed the threads posted and I see a lot of confusion about gain controls, I dont seem to have a gain control, but I do have seperate bass treble and mid range controls as well as a sub control and an AUX control.How should I adjust these to achieve optimal performance? Should I adjust the bass or the sub for sub performance? And is the Aux control just a gain for the Aux device? Any ideas about if any of these should function as pre amps and if the power should be boosted pre or post? I have the crossover on the sub set at 80 Hz, should I set a limit on the head unit as well? I'm sorry but confusion abounds! Any advice would be most appreciated.
thanks Mark, I'm just trying to do things right (with what I have) my iPod has a volume, there is an Aux level adjustment that kinda functions like a gain or volume, then a regular volume. Too many choices for an old man who just wants to listen to old classic rock with a little bottom without damage to my speakers. There also is a sub level as well as a 'low' level. Unsure how to use those synergisticly.
And walmart also has a fair selection of imported beer!!
