Setting gain, boost, and low pass on amp...?

i turned up my front speakers until distortion and then lowered the volume a few levels. (i dont have my new 6x9s yet, so no back speakers.) After that, I kept the volume up and started turning up my gain levels and set my low pass filter around 100hz.

My head unit has a 4v preout and built in bass blockers for the front and back speakers, which i have set at 120hz in front and 100 hz for th 6 x9s when i get them.

I have a 200 rms blaupunkt ampt and a 200 rms blaupunkt 12" ported tube sub. All this is in my extended cab pickup truck, so theres not alot of room that the sound has to fill.

When I set my gain at 4v (about 2/5 of the way up), and my bass boost to 3db, (about 2/5 of the way up) it doesnt seem like its putting out alot of sound, its puts out some, but nothing like i expected. I dont want the amp to clip, but I thought this setup would blow away my old bazooka 8"sub tube that only handled 100 rms and i had a 200 rms amp on that one.

Suggestions? Thank you!
