hi guys,

my new sub came today and im really excited but i want to ask a few questions its got louds of knobs and switches and i really want to know what they all mean, ive read the instruction manual but i want your say aswell:

PHASE
LF EXTENSION
GAIN
LFE MODE
XOVER FREQ
DIRECT & 80Hz HIPASS
 
XOVER FREQ is where your subwoorfer takes over from the speakers. Usually I set this to around 220hz but really depends on the rest of your speakers.

PHASE adjustment allows you to tune your woofer in with your speaker. If the drivers in your speaker are out of sync with your woofer you can use this adjustment to have them play together at the same time.

LF(Low Frequency) EXTENSION- I think but don't quote me on this is how low you want to subwoofer to play (frequency)

GAIN is the control of how much the input signal is amplified before it goes into the amplifier. Usually you want to keep this low as the higher you set it the more distorted the signal becomes resulting in poorer sound quality. Also too much gain can be bad for the amplifier.

The other stuff I am not really sure about and you would have to play with it. DIRECT & 80Hz HIPASS & LFE MODE just seem like options that will allow you to adjust the character of the sound that comes out.
