Default HU settings and amp setting help

I would like some advice from the SQ experts on this forum on the settings on my HU and Amps. I adjusted them by hear and I guess it sounds OK but I do not have an ear for SQ. I'm trying to get the best sound out of what I have. Here is the info on the set up I have:

HU
Pioneer DEH-P7200HD
Preout max output - 4.0 V
EQ (5 band): Freq - 50/63/80/10/125hz, Slope -12db/oct
Subwoofer (mono): Freq - 50/63/80/100/125hz, Slope : -18db/oct, Gain: +6db to -24 db, Phase: normal/reverse
Bass boost: Gain: +12db to 0db

Fronts
Focal 165 A3 (3 way)
peak: 160W
RMS: 80W
separate crossover: 12/12db/oct (300hz-4kHz)
sensitivity: 90db
Frequency response: 55Hz - kHZ

Rears
Kicker (2 way)
peak: 150W
RMS: 75W
sep crossover: 12db/oct (4500Hz) - 6db/oct (4500hz)
frequency response: 33-21Hz

Sub
RE Audio SX series 10" (1 ea)
2 ohm
power handling: 600W
(installed in a flush mount sealed box in rear center cubby)

Amp for fronts/rears
RE Audio XT-1600 (4 ch)
100W RMS x 4 ch @ 4ohm
freq response: 5Hz~50Khz (-1db)
max input signal: 6V

Amp for sub
RE Audio XT-2000DE (monoblock)
300W RMS x 1 ch @ 2 ohm
freq response: 20~500Hz
Max input signal: 6V

Here are pics of the amps settings adjustments. What do you recommend I set the head unit settings along with the amp settings? I have been researching and some people say use the HU for adjustments, while some say use both...some say use boost, some say dont...etc. I know its difficult to set these without hearing them, but perhaps you can put me at a safe starting point then I can fine tune by ear from there. FYI, I did the install myself. I really appreciate your expert opinions. Thanks
