The phase you will set to either 0 or 180 after you have the amp and subwoofers set up and running. Set it to what ever sounds more bassy. Set the LP to about 80 Hz and the HP does not need to be set unless the HP switch has been selected. Have the dial for the NARROW and WIDE set to the middle. What this does is sets the parametric EQ to allow for a wide or narrow band for the specific frequency that you choose to be " Boosted ".
