Ok so I finally got my sub in my truck. Its a single kicker comp VR 10" in a downfire box under the rear seat. Hooked it up and it runs fine but I need to fine tune it. I played with the amp a bit but since I don't know sterios I figured I should ask before I blow somthing. I have three settings on the amp [kicker 5 channel, 4 normal and 1 sub]for the sub output:
bass boost [dB] 0-18
sub gain 0-11
sub x-over freq [Hz] 50-200

I listen to mostly metal and rock so I want punchy bass more then booming. More then settings Im just wondering what each of these controls and how it will affect the music as I change them?
