Amp Settings

I have had a sen21100 amp for a few years. I have lost all of the paperwork for the amp and don't remember the correct settings. I have it installed but I am not happy with the overall sound quality. I am hoping someone here can tell me the correct way to set these. I have 2 10" woofers in a 4ohm config I believe the amp is 1100 watts and I have it bridged. Any help would be appreciated



I am pretty sure I need a bigger capacitor

What size power wire are you using? I've never used a capacitor, just made sure all my connections were correct, as well as using proper sized quality wire.

I see you have a ported enclosure, using a subsonic filter will help.

Should I turn it all the way down? I am using 4gauge power and ground wires

4ga is good if its a quality cable. I would turn the bass boost down if it's on, then readjust your gains from there.

JL has a good tutorial on setting your gains.
