    yeah, that should be good, as long as you're not overdriving the amp.

    this is what i'd do: use the crossover on the headunit only - set the amp to fullpass or off, whatever. then do this to set your amp for maximum safe output... but most importantly, back the bass boost off to zero, you're trying to pull way too much power out of that amp, and it's pretty close to the edge already.

    Neo's right.

    Also, turn that bass boost OFF! Youre pushing that amp full blast and its probably very near clipping. If it clips, itll send about 1600 watts thru your sub, ending it quickly!
