Got the sub in today, will be hooking it up in about an hour.

How do I finetune it?

Quote:
Here's what you do- You set the HPF on your front speakers. Then, before the sub is hooked up, turn the radio up until the front speakers start to distort. Let's say you turned it up to "30" before you heard distortion. You now know the limit, 30 is too high, don't turn your stereo up past 28. The fronts won't sound the greatest with no bass playing, but be patient, the bass is on the way. Now play some music at 28 (your safe level) and start turning up the level on the subwoofer. Continue to turn up the sub until you hear distortion, then back off a little. Doing this should prevent anything bad from happening to your current components.
Once the sub is connected and tuned to level volume, should I turn HPF back on the front speakers?
Or can I leave them off and have the bass do all the work?
Which Hz rating would work the best"?
