no you should never have your gain up past half way. if you have it up past half, it sends DC voltage to your subs and causes clipping.

bass boost is an increased bass signal for greater low-frequency sound, and a crossover is a device that divides the ranges of frequencies, it should be set on low for bass, and higher for playing music.
