programming the deck, Program my deck for my sub Options

[acenova]

Alright, you know how when you get a cd player w/o the sub then it doesn't recognize the fact that there's the sub there but when you get a sub you're supposed to program the deck for the sub? I think you do it for most all modern decks. I just installed my sub and it sounds damn good, but I'm not getting enough power to it to realize it's maximum potential and I think it's because I haven't programmed my deck.
-Anyone know if there's a general way to program the deck and get to the "secret" menu that has the sub feature to turn on and off?
I'd check my manual for it, but I have misplaced it for the time being.

In order for your deck to send a signal just to your subs, you have to (1) have the specific outputs on the back of the deck for the sub controls (2) you have to know where the menu is lol. Usually its just like an RCA jack on the back of the deck but has sub labels on it. That plugs into your amp and it sends a specified signal just for the bass level on the sub. Its sorta like one of those controllers you mount like under your seat or on the dash to adjust bass levels.
