Answer 1

Phase) As long as your subs are wired correctly (positive to positive, etc.), you shouldn't need to worry about phase, so leave that at zero.

Mode) Leave on master

Frequency) That's really up to you.  If you have fairly strong midrange woofers (6.5s or such), I would recommend 100-80Hz area.  If not, you can go as high as 140Hz, but you are going to have a pretty sloopy low end/

Gain) Gain is dependent upon the source unit, and it's preamp voltage.  Sparky3489 has an awesome link that explains how to correctly set your gain. http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php...

Infrasonic Filter) On
