well give us more information so we can help you. setting? that could mean a few different things.
First, you want to set a low pass crossover, set that around 80Hz.
Next, is your box ported? if it is, set your subsonic filter to just below the tuning frequency of your ported box. if your box is sealed, then turn the filter off.
Third, set your gains. do this by turning your HU all the way up untill you begin to hear distortion on your speakers, then turn it down slightly. now, turn up your amp untill you begin to hear distortion, then turn it down a tad bit. now turn your HU volume back down to normal, and you're set.
dont play around with "bass boost" you will clip your speakers.
if this is confusing to you then just have the people at CC do it for you, but its really pretty simple and you should be fine.

And Like Msall said (this is very important) if you have a ported box set the infrasonic filter a half octave below your tuning freq.
Its okay to give a little bit of bass boost but def NOT the 18dB that amp can give. But the settings on the amp will determine where the bass boost will come in at. Go to JL's website. They have a flash site about the settings of the 500/1 and you can see what your subs freq curve will be.
