For half an hour I was trying to figure out why my crossover settings on the headunit could not be accessed. Turns out that if the memory setting was set to locked it would also disable the option, for some odd reason.
Changed the settings back to 2-way, and took a look at the subwoofer settings - and found out I had set it on the wrong phase. Frankly it didn't sound too anemic with the wrong phase, but my powered sub is able to do fine adjustments from 0 to 180. I'll get an RTA app and play some test tones to get the phase set correctly.
As for gain settings - increase slowly at loudest listening levels till the sub clips, then dial it down a little and use head unit for control. I recall seeing a volume control and a gain setting for the sub at the headunit but the former shouldn't be there... any thoughts?
Also as my sub and headunit has a crossover setting (frequency adjustment on the sub, frequency+rolloff on the headunit) - what would be the best way to go about this? My thought process is to set the sub's crossover frequency to the max it can go and let the head unit do the actual crossover with the setting I want. But how does the sub's 'default' rolloff setting influence the rolloff set on the head unit?
