Yeah man, full pass is what you want. High pass will not let low frequencies through, ie your bass.

The Pioneer had the same settings... The middle position of the switch is FULL, it's just not written.
Does the Cadence amp have a frequency dial to adjust the high pass/low pass level? |

The distortion is because small speakers (not subs) are not meant to play bass. In a properly set up stereo the speakers will be running from an amp with HIGH PASS turned on and set around 80Hz and then the sub is set up to be LOW PASS to play everything below 80Hz.
If you don't have a sub, you can run the speakers at FULL but you need to turn the bass down or not turn it up as loud. |
