American Bass VFL 100.1 setting question.

Hello, I'm looking for the correct settings for my American Bass VFL 100.1 that is paired with two 12' American Bass XFL in a ported box. The stereo shop that did my instal was ignorant on the subject. All they did was turn the gain up all the way on my amp and said I was ready to rock.

Get a dd-1 or oscilloscope to tune it properly if not check the tool amp to see if anyone near you has one. Gain isn't a volume knob. If it was me I would go to a different shop.

Do NOT play your system with the gain all the way up. Find a way to set it properly like Rick has already said. Maybe your HU has low preout voltage IDK. You will wreck your voice coils if you play it with gain all the way up.

Thank you for the input. I'm going to do what you have said. Yes I've given up on the shop, they did a terrible instal too. My A4's door wouldn't shut properly and the rubber weather stripping was lapped over rather than under like when it came from the factory. The shop pulled back a plastic piece of trunk trim and screwed a bracket into and onto my sub box. It was bent over exposing the black metal. If I would've stomped on the gas the weight of the box would've ripped my trim out.
