Azzazel_99 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I do not have a DD-1 yet but i plan on ordering one so for now its setting gains my the ear-o-meter and the DMM. Once i get the gain level set should i even bother with the bass boost knob or leave it all the way down? I know to have it down while setting gains but is it something that needs to be adjusted after the gains are set to provide a little more oomph? This is a mono amp for 2 12's by the way.

SnowDrifter Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 yeah leave boost off it will send distortion to the speaker Not quite... Bass boost is like a secondary gain centered around a specific frequency. Once your gain is set, there is no reason to play with the bass boost since turning it up will amplify the signal beyond what you just set the gain to. And that causes clipping. You can use it, but you just need to account for and take it into consideration. But for 95% of cases, you are better off just leaving it all the way down ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I use my bass boost, it's called level on my amp as snow drifter said to boost a certain frequency where my q slope is not linear and I'd like to flatten that area out. If you don't kno what I'm talking about leave it off Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
