I did get it hook up w/o issue though, but there are so many little things to tune and play with, that there is no way I could have gotten it done tonight. I got it sounding decent, could turn my gains far from before, only minor hiss but again, I am not thru messin around with it yet and NO ENGINE OR ALTY NOISE
finally, I have been plagued with this since I put in my component amp.
some questions from the lamen though:
what is the difference between the filters(link/butt)
what does the Q value change (factory preset to 1.00)
what does the Low Ceiling/High Ceiling/Peaking thing do
what does the OrderLP/OrderHP setting change?
please no flamage for not knowing this stuff, I definatley not a n00b when it comes to car audio when the talk turns digital/high end tuning then that is a completly different story. I just want to get the most out of the new toy I just bought.

To eliminate the hiss continue to lower the volume on each pair of chs (or maybe just highs) to the -10-15db range and it should become inaudible-if still theres is plenty of range past that. The thing is the unit comes from the factory will all volume settings maxed out by default.
Order LP /Order Hp changes the slope of your xover values 6/12/18/24 dB's. Basically controls how shallow or how wide the unit rolls off from your selected frquency whether on the higher or lower range.
Linkwitz or Butterworth are just two different types of filters named after their creators based on the characteristics of their rolloff. Just switch it back and forth and go with what you feel sounds best of said speaker. Theres no right or wrong.

The EQ stuff...Q values, high/low shelving are things i'm not too sure about as far as their meaning. Best thing to do is find what you think is a troubled freq range and start experimenting from there.

I thought the q is the width of the adjustment. A Q of 1(or whatever the highest adjustment is) would probably have the widest adjustment range with a low rolloff thus affecting more signals rather than a narrow band/range. A q of .25 or whatever the lowest setting is affects a much more narrow section of frequencies.
