Answer 1

The most important is the gain (or level control) on the amp.

The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp to prevent clipping (damage by over powering).

Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.box.net/shared/uchv4dbk88

You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter, $15 from Radio$hack), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

If you don't have Excel, use this link http://www.box.net/shared/nkkw1dhk4g

Answer 2

well i dont know about the light because bass k***s are not suppose to have lights but here it goes.

the filter is basically a crossover that as you turn it left it blocks more and more frequencies till it only plays the lowest it can. if you turn it right it allows a larger range of frequencies to play. just play with it and keep it low till you like the sound. you could go more advance into this but you might as well get a equalizer then lol
