Question about 1000W amp and High Pass Low Pass along with input sensitivity?
I just bought a 1000W Boss amp. I'm hooking up a 600W sub and a 1000W sub, one to each channel. I'm wondering what Mode to use. The amp has Low Pass (45-90Hz), Full Range, and High Pass (50-500Hz). Also the input sensitivity switch gives me the choice of 100mV or 2-8v. If anyone can explain what would be best for the amp and sound it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

well your first mistake was choosing to buy a boss amp for your system. boss amps are pure garbage. and way overrated. and mixing different types of subwoofers isn't the best thing to do either.
But as for setting gains. for subwoofers you want to use the low pass filter. it will cut off high frequencies which subwoofers were not meant to play. the input sensitivity affects how loud the amp will play. the farther right you turn it the louder it will be to an extent. once it stops getting louder you need to stop and cut back a little bit.
as for the subwoofers atleast make sure that you can hook them both up to the amp without providing an ohm load that is too low, or you will blow it. and its better to have a little bit of bass then no bass at all
