Settings For The 8401 Amp

vigsom · 29th December 2007, 21:24

I have the following set up in my Versa:

1.HU - JVC KWXC404
2.Amp - Kenwood 8401
2.Fronts - Pio 4"(driven by HU)
3.Rear - Pio TS2150 plus TS20(driven by channelB of amp)
4.Sub - Philips ASW1000(10" driven by ChannelA)

The sub is installed in a MDF box so that it can be put under the center seat.

When the unit was installed,both ChA and B filters were off - loud music even at HU volume as low as 05.

I have now set the amp as follows:

1.ChA - LPF on at 150Hz - Mono mode
2.ChB - HPF on at 150 Hz - Stereo mode - Bass Boost off

With this setting,I have noticed that I need to up the volume to say 07 but the bass is better and the overall SQ has improved
Gurus,do you think these settings are good?

Any improvements suggested in the settings?
