my sub amp doent have either a subsonic filter nor a bass boost on it (Mmats Pro Audio D1600.1) but i have an old skool line driver with Both adjustments on it, i also have a single DIN EQ with boost also. I havent had a chance to hear what my subs sound like yet with this new amp but at the moment my Orion XTR Pro 15's are in the smallest box they are deigned for. I do plan on building a speced Poerted enclosure oon though. Will it benbefit me to use either my line driver or eq for bass boost? Will it be ok when i build the ported enclosure? my amp is about 1200 RMS @ 1ohm @ 13.9V and subs are 500 RMS and 1000 Max. I know subsonic will be good in the ported box for sure though but not sure about boost. :trippy:

so subsonic filter and line driver and im all in? So boost is good for what? making cheap crap get a little louder? Low power applications?

None of their amps have subsonic filter, bass boost exc. just make sure you have the crossover frequency set to your liking. You dont need to increase rca V unless you are running off the stock headunit. See how it sounds without these pieces of equipment before you add them.

Do not use bass boost.
