And as for amplifier settings:

LPF: 80-100Hz
Bass Boost: Minimal-None in most cases.
Gain: -Download a 50Hz test tone.
-Use the formula ---> V=sqrt(watts*ohms)
- Attach dmm to + and - terminals on amplifier. (after unhooking subwoofer.)
-Play 50Hz tone at 75% volume. Turn gain up until you reach the voltage you acquired by using the formula above.
-Shut everything off and reconnect your subwoofer.

You can download the 50Hz tone here:

Do what you feel is necessary at your head unit and enjoy.

I didn't bend the actual metal part, but the plastic at at the cable.

I'll probably not adjust my amp like that as I don't have a dmm. I'll adjust it by ear as best I can.

If I were to use a dmm, what watts and ohms would I use? The subs or amps rms or peak? For ohms, will it be whatever I will have the speakers wired as?

Say I had 2 300 peak, 150 rms 4 ohm subs wired in to 2 ohms, and the amp is 150 rms and 300 peak at 2 ohms.

What would I use?
