Sub box built/questions

Hey yall. I just finished building a sub box for my 2011 Super crew and I have a couple of questions.

-What are the best settings for the amp for the best bass? (Rockford Prime R500) Specifically the gain and frequency.

-As far as the break in period for the subs (Infinity 860W), would a week of running them at about 25% be good?

I know these question are kind of newbie stuff, but that is what I am lol.

Tried to upload a pic of the box but I am not sure how...any ways, there are more in my profile.

I usually set the frequency(LPF) between 70-80Hz. This keeps the subs from playing mid bass.

The gain setting is really dependent on what your using for a source. Stock or aftermarket head unit? There are a few guides around the net for setting amp gain.

I have never "broken in" a sub and have never had any problems. If you want to be safe, give them a few hours of play before going to full volume. Subs are most commonly damaged by bass boost.

Thanks, I set the gain for about 70 htz.

I am using a PAC audio LOC on my stock stereo. Sounds pretty good, I am happy with the results.
