I set my amps to All Pass (flat) and have all my gains set at 0. I do plan on adjusting my gains up to 50%. I will be turning my gains up because my radio needed a volume level of 30 (out of 40) to get a good signal to the MS-8. I wouldn't say that it's "quiet" at 30, but I'd like to have it much louder at 30. I still have my Punch EQ knob up front to turn the sub way up, but for tuning, I left it at 0 also. It allows me to "muddy it up" if I want. I turned the MS-8 volume all the way up and use my head unit to control volume.

I start tearing my car apart again tomorrow evening to replace the MS-8 with the new Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3. I'm having high anxiety right now because I'm really afraid that I won't be able to get the 3Sixty.3 to sound as good as the MS-8. If I can't the 3Sixty straight, I'll just put the MS-8 back in. It's really the most impressive car audio product I have ever seen. What it can do with just 5-10 minutes of tuning is damn near magic.
