So on the setting of this amp, I have everything set, almost. I have the fairing speakers all set and the switch is set to Hi-Pass, as per the reading I got from this forum, thank you. Now, the speakers in the lowers. Those gain and frequency settings are done too. They are mid bass and primarily for the lower frequencies. It's just what I am trying right now. And it sounds AWESOME! The question is, "do I leave the switch on full-pass or switch it to Hi-pass"? Don't want to mess it up now.
As OK mentioned, the amp should be in high pass and you should have the crossovers set roughly per the speaker spec crossover point however depending on the watts u are sending those speakers. Generally high pass and about 85-90 is a good starting point for 6.5s as most of them will distort pretty fast if u try and play frequencies much lower than that with the higher watt demands. So get a pretty bass heavy some playing and really protect your speakers from distortion by utilizing the crossover ****. Even the slightest distortion will screw u speakers shelf life.
The HP selection allows u to determine what frequencies get to that speaker. IE HP selected and 85 on the **** only slows 85 hz freqs and higher get to the speaker. If u use All Pass, all freqs are gonna get to that speaker and the **** becomes inactive.
Hope this helps. If u provide speaker make and model and confirm OKs inquiry about the DSP and HU I'm sure folks can get u really close to the optimum amp settings.
I am flashing the HU so no line leveler. I bought a wiring harness from GBS so I am all good on connections. I am just a little unclear on if you set your gains before the frequency and if the frequency should be set within the manufacturers specs which would mean the MMats set to 120. However, the Rockfords I would set somewhere between 80-100 even though they are spec'd as low as 56.
The labeling on the Stinger is less than desirable trying to find 80, 100, or even 120 but I mapped it out using a clock and referencing numbers provided above so I should be able to get close.
I had hoped if someone had set their gains and has the same setup they could share if they set it to 8AM, 9AM, etc...
Can I use a 1khz test tone without a Distortion Detector or Oscilloscope to tune the Gains?

I would not go off of what others have set theirs at too many variables from amp to amp. Use a DMM and the 1k tone and use the chart in the gain setting sticky above to achieve your target voltage. Use your ears from there.
