I have a "REM" connector on the amp which goes to the blue "Remote" on the back of the head unit (blue wire)
What is "LPF"?
I've read the amp instructions about setting the "gain" but not really sure what it means - I'll plug it all in and see how it sounds!
Can I do any damage to anything??
Low Pass Filter.
Allows the low frequencies through but cuts the higher ones.
So it starts from 150Hz and goes down but I personally don't like my subwoofer doing 150Hz as I feel it is too high.
Gain is literally that. An amplifier amplifies the signal from source to output. Adjusting a gain control is increasing that amplification. Think of it along the lines of a volume control.
One way of "tuning" a system is to play music through it all with the gain at zero and the LPF at highest (so 150Hz), then raise the gain until the sound meets the same volume as the rest of the system and then adjust the LPF until it sounds like the rest of the speaker are doing what they should and the sub is doing the lower order that you can't hear from the other speakers.
There are other ways but this is normally the way I do it.
That's why having a control is useful as you will mostly hear the music from the driver seat and that's where you want to be making the adjustments.
You can't really damage anything unless you wire up something wrong spectacularly or drive the volume up too loud.
I'd always triple check what you have wired to where to ensure you did it right though.
