    I have a 600W amp and 2 400W 10's, they are a temp setup I got for free. They hit okay but the tone seems off and was hoping someone could help me with the setting to make them sound better.
    The amp has a Full, LP, and HP switch. Bass Boost to 18db. LP goes from 30 to 350. HP goes from 80 to 2.5k. I'm not sure how I should set it so if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.

    is the box sealed or ported? does it have subsonic too?

    ok, for you sub amp... Put it on LP filter and set it to about 80hz... For the components you should put the HP filter on and set it to 80hz-120hz. Turn the bass boost totally off!!!

    put the switch on LP, this means Low pass.
    turn the LP knob to about 60Hz
    Bass Boost off
    since the switch is on LP, you wont have to worry about the HP. The HP is more for mids and highs
