How would you go about doing this?

I got my subs hooked up last night and I cant even tell they are they with my back speakers on.

What do you mean by tuning amps ? Tuning it so that they get louder? There should be a gain knob on the back...

There should be a gain knob and maybe a bass boost and crossover knob.
-Set your gains around 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up.
-Bass Boost tune to your liking.
-Crossover for a sub you want betweeen 40Hz and 50Hz.

Now if you want to get really picky you can setup you amp to properly match your sub. but most people aren't into that. If you happen to be let me know.
