It actually depends on your amp head. A lot of variations need to be thought about. I have a Crate GT1200H, sometimes I use the distortion on the head(only when practicing). Are you using a distortion pedal? If you are, when using my dist. pedal, I put my high almost all the way up, mid a bit past half, the low a little farther then the mid. I get a really thick, chunky tone but clear. Hope this helps you some.
If you need the answer in mids, bass, treble, here are my settings: Drive: 10, Mids 1: 2 Mid 2: 1 Bass: 10 Treble: 8.5

They probably have different settings for different songs.
Probably because the tone settings on your amp or guitar are boosting that frequency range.
Usualy I use Bass-5 Gain-9 Mids-7-8 Treble-10
I'd say their all great for it, a custom 24 and a Mesa Boogie Double Rectifier amp this guy on youtube with an European accent did a great job playing metal on it.
all you do is turn mid up all the way
I'd say Line Pod 6. Great for metal riffs and melodys and clean lead guitar.
They probably have different settings for different songs.
you can as long as you have distortion and you make a lot of harmonics, and chords Turn up the volume on your guitar, turn up the gain on the amp and then adjust the volume on the amp to how loud you want. Adjust the tone to what you want probably high treble.
I ran it with that amp and it started clipping, so lower the settings on amp, the amp is a monster!!!
crutchfield has a wiring diagram for all kinds of configurations, check it out.
12 inch Bose speakers are what you want, along with a amp and subwoofer.

If the amp is in the trunk.Just ground it to any part of the metal body.
Honestly, the best one is the one you pick out. I personally like the HM-2 by Boss. The true best option in my opinion however is to buy a Mesa-Boogie amp. AMAZING overdrive
To distort an Ibanez GTA10 10 Watt Amp, increase the gain knob on the amp to introduce more distortion. You can also use a distortion pedal in front of the amp for heavier distortion tones. Experiment with different settings on the amp and pedal to find the sound you're looking for.
Anthony Armstrong of Red uses a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amp. His settings typically involve a high-gain tone with boosted mids and treble for clarity. Specific settings can vary depending on the song or performance, but generally aim for a modern, aggressive rock sound.
