2 Polk momo 12" sealed .. running off a kicker kx 1200.1

I was wondering what gains do i set it to and what bass boost and freq.

I don't wanna blow the subs by giving them to much.

Thanks

    Set the gain to about 1/4 or maybe a little more. Wouldnt go much over the 10:00 position and definitely not over the noon position. Itll depend on what blends best with the front stage speakers.

    As for bass boost - turn it off. If you need bass boost - you need a bigger amp.

    Set the low pass filter for 80 Hz to start and tweak from there.
