Riley Evan Houser Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hey everybody, I will soon be purchasing the Soundstream TX1.2000D and I would just like to hear your guy's input on whether I should or shouldn't use the bass knob? I know some bass knobs just cause distortion.. Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Guess Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have mainly heard that its best to leave your bass knob out of the equation when tuning your system. I could be wrong tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Evan Houser Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've never personally heard of bass knobs causing distortion, but if you don't want to be able to control your bass, you can leave it out... I've just heard of it in the "lower" car audio companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesyrup Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 bass knob, I wrote a big long reasoning behind it, but it just deleted everything, dont feel like re typing it now, it made a lot of sense though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 If its a remote gain knob, then it won't cause distortion if everything is tuned/used properly. I think some are bass boost knobs which can cause distortion.

RMac18 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Its possible that your hearing it because people set their gains then crank the base knob up which causes the signal to distort. If you use it, turn it all the way up before you set your gain, that way when you use it turned up all the way the signal is still clean and clear. When you turn it down it will still turn the base down but you won't have to worry about clipping or distortion from turning it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07denali Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I like using it. My gf hates bass so I turn it up when I ride alone and can easily turn it down when she rides with me. They're cheap, easy to install and give you control of your bass within arms reach. Makes sense to me.

reelfish92 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would highly recommend buying a PAC LC1 knob. I never use the stock bass knobs. http://www.amazon.com/PAC-Remote-Amplifier-Level-Controller/dp/B0002J226O Team Flatline AudioBuild Log: http://www.stevemead...-s10-build-log/YouTube ---> http://www.youtube.com/reelfish92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
