Cashdollar2009 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'll be honest, I have a REALLY REALLY REALLY good feeling that this knob is the "remote gain." In which you turn the entire way up, set your gains with either the dmm or o-scope, then turn back down. Therefore the knob would limit you to only your maximum gain set. WHICH, would not be using your "bass boost." Often referred to as the same thing, "gain" and "boooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssssssttttttt" are different.

cmegorm250 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 hmmm im going to look up on there website right now to see what this knob really does than ill get back to ya ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmegorm250 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 this is what i got from there website In the early 70's, Jim Fosgate studied the acoustical properties of automobiles. Utilizing a real-time analyzer and pink noise, he would graph out the acoustical characteristics of each car he tested. This lead to the development of the Punch Eq to compensate for problems that were common in all cars. The Punch Bass EQ section of the Punch EQ up to 18dB of boost for correcting acoustical deficiencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Punch Bass EQ section of the Punch EQ up to 18dB of boost for correcting acoustical deficiencies. if you set your gain (with an oscope) at the bass boost frequency and the bass boost all the way up, then you shouldn't have any clipping problems. However, your system will peak around that particular frequency and usually doesn't sound all that great. It is great for single note systems, not so much for musical systems.

bigmescan Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Maybe I'm stupid but I always thought cheaper amps had bass boost knobs and other not so cheap amps had bass gain knobs but then again that's my .02 Quote SONY XAV-701HDRF power 400.4 RF power 1000bd 3 Sundown x8's d22004 f150 single cab2 sets of components MB quart 6.5 onx (2 tweets 2 6.5 perdoor)stock batt up fronBIG 3http://www.stevemead...-vid-pg-11-922/http://www.youtube.c.../TheBigmescan74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 if you set the AC voltage via DMM with the knob all the way up, i think youll be fine. if your application calls for lets say 25 volts AC, if you use bass boost to achieve that 25 volts, i dont think youll be clipping. its when you set the actual gain to 25 volts and then turn up the bass boost, causing a drastic increase in that voltage (therefor causing the signal to become dirty aka clipped).
