Riley Evan Houser Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just got my Soundstream TX1.2000D today. It comes with a remote gain control.. Could someone please tell me about it? Like what it does and if I should use it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 plug it in, turn it all the way up. then on your amp turn it all the way down and gradually turn it all the way up with a DD-1 meter until it detects clipping. it just lets you control the gains from where you're sitting anyone correct me if I'm wrong Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Evan Houser Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Don't have a DD-1 man.. I do shit the old school way. So.. Probably don't use the bass knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hes right. Turn on your.favorite music, Turn the gains all the way down. Bass knob all the way up, radio to 3/4 volume and then if you dont have the dd1just listen to your subs and slowly turn the gains up untill you hear distortion in them, then back them down untill you dont hear any distortion. Now youve just.tuned your amp. now what the bass knob does is control your.aubs. So bass knob turned down will put no.bass in your subs, turned up all the way will be as loud as your gains are set on the amp, it does not overide your gain settings on the amp but gives you full.control to the lowest and highst your gains are set and in between. It makes it so you have full control of your amp without having to go to your radio to turn the.bass up. And sense your gains would be tuned.you.wont go past them by using the bass knob. I recommend using it. Hoped this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Evan Houser Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Now that I think about it.. i've just never had anybody tell me to turn it up all the way then adjust my gains.. I've always heard they cause distortion..but if you do it the way I was just explained then it's actually pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish1015 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 yea.. anytime you tune your system you should always have it at the loudest you would ever play it and then set it on the amps to the point right before it distorts.. the bass knob would then give you the freedom to give or take more or less bass to fit your needs.. i love mine! saves me from having to get my fat ass out of the car to go to the trunk or spend time scrolling through my menu loll Quote 2008 BMW 550i M Sport Build coming soon! 2000 Volvo s40 1.9TPioneer DVD navigation head unitO2 audio performance mid range speakers2 Crescendo PWX-6 Pro Mid Range Speakers2 Crescendo PWX-8 Pro Mid Range Speakers4 Selenium ST200 Super TweetersHifonics ZRX2000.4 Amplifier2- 12 inch DC Audio Level 4 m2Hifonics Brutus BXI-1610D Amplifier2 KinetiK HC1400R- Secondary BatteriesKinetik HC600- Secondary BatteryKnukonceptz 1/0 gauge big 3 upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 You turn the knob up when you set your gains so your setting your max power. If you turn it down when you tune then your max gains will be the bass.knob is all the way down and you wont have the control. There are rca knobs but thats different. Try what I said and if.it.doesnt sound right re post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
