That light is about as reliable as a politician. Buy a DD1 and you wont have to worry about the light.

haha ive always wondered about the clipping lights and what not on the bass knobs about how they worked or if they even did work at all! haha but now i know

down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups

strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub

Tune the amp with the bass knob all the way up, or even better, ditch the stock knob and get an LC1. I will never use a bass knob that comes with an amp again. They all suck.

What makes the lc1 so much better than a normal bass knob?

The LC1 is a In-RCA-Line Potentiometer i believe. So all it does is change the flow. I cant really explain it. Except it doesnt suck like a gain knob. lol.

I like mine... It may not be 100 percent accurate but i use it as a reference point. Song's bass notes are at different starting amplitudes. So say in one song the note might be at -3.3db and another song might be at -1.7 So your total unclipped volume is going to be different with different tracks. I have measured mine with the dd-1 and it seems pretty consistant.
