kl0wn Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It has the sort of phone jack looking thing when it was new, are those sold separately? I would really hate to tear apart my truck to get to my RCAs again.... The phone jack looking thing was the stock bass knob that came with the amplifier. Since the amp is discontinued you would have to find a used one somebody is selling. Your best bet would be the PAC LC-1. I know how it feels to have to rip everything apart, but sometimes it needs to be done. Hell, I have had to rip out my ENTIRE system, and tear half of my car apart. To install an alternator. Haha, so I feel your pain. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996BLKBauer Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 i know i am hateing on a product but if it makes you feel better this is a newer boss amp i don't think they could really make come back after this http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149231-boss-ph4000d/ That why I came here for your honest opinion on this amp, This may seem odd, after reading my first statement, but when I bought all my stuff for my truck I did a ton of research, so I knew it was good. But that boss amp looks to be garbage, although I really don't know what I am looking for, and how much an amp rated that much should have. S.o.s pad will clean that amp up..and will not scratch it up like a steal wool Wait, doesn't SOS pads have Steel Wool in them? By steel wool I mean #0004 size, which is super super fine, I used to use in on my rims, and bumpers, and it never scratched them. 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

Haha, so I feel your pain. Thanks, I just wanted to make sure. For less then $20 it seems pretty legit, but I do have one question though, do I set the gain on the amp all the way down, and simply adjust it with the new Remote Level Controller? It also seems that I will be able to get away with just taking out the Head unit to install it. 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

The knob will never exceed what you have the gain on the amplifier set to. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996BLKBauer Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 here is a gut shot of your amp Nice, I am surprised that I missed that on EXo's channel... did he die or something? haven't seen any videos by him in a long time... But I digress, mine is the monoblock version but same lineup. So one VU meter, but I am hoping to see the same type of board lay out, and now I know why there are 2 holes in the front of it, I will most likely need to clean out them... 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.
