tuning is easy lol put a cd in and get ur tools ready to turn the knobs... ur gona have to do it by ear not by people telling you how to set it... do it to ur prefrence.

that i know for fact is pretty much wrong for someone who doesnt really know what they are doing, i say this because there are diff types of music and tuning for all of them is hard
im looing for someone to tell me what each knob will do, and where a generaly good setting for them would be, i can fine tune myself of course, but i have no idea what is what and just playing with them there is an infinate possiblity of combos...

yes, everything including the sub works, tech i could leave ti and it would make noise, but i want to tune the subs so that they perform at optimal settings
