Ok, here is my question for you guys since I am not sure what to select. Here are the options:

Bass Freq: Choose the desired bass frequency.
60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz
Treble Freq: Choose the desired treble
frequency 10KHz/12.5KHz/1 5KHz!
175KHz.
Sub Filter: Choose the deSired Sub Filter
frequency: 80Hz/120Hz/160Hz.
Bass Q-Factor: Choose thn Bass
Q-Factor:1.0/1.25/1.5/2.0.

I don't know what options to choose. Here is my setup. Alpine PDX-5 amp, Polk DB691 front speakers (35-22k range), Polk db651 rears (55-22k range), Pioneer IMPP 350W sub (not sure on range on this since it's old).

Given the ranges on my speakers, what would be the best option to choose? I don't know what the Q factor is and what it does.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Those are parametric equalizer settings.  They are like very sophisticated bass and treble controls and will change the way the system sounds.  Proper adjustment can make a decent sounding system sound much better; improper adjustment can make a decent sounding system sound like trash.  HERE is a good tutorial that will introduce you to what they do and how to use them.
