What settings should I set amp?

Hi I have the Alpine MRD-M1000 V12 Amp and 2x Type-R Subs the amp is 1000rms 1 channel and 500 rms at 4 ohms the subs are setup for 4 ohm at 500rms each.

there are the 9 modes on the amp plus mode 0

You only have to set modes 1-8 what should I set the settings to so it doesn't blow my subs but I get max bass thanks!

If you don't have the manual its a PITA, each mode references a different variable aspect of the amp operation. Fortunately the manual is here, looks like you have some playing around to do.....
