why is 45hz the magic number for bass bnobs and when boosting?

I assume because it's the more common tone in much music.

I tend to not use bass boost at all . If your amp is set up right you shouldn't even need it so I always turn mine all the way down .

Bass boost also can cause clipping ^_^ noooo good. If your really needing the urge to use bass boost you probably just need a bigger amp

thats not the point of this thread.

the point of this thread is why do 90% of the amps out there have the bass boost hard set to 45hz

Hey haze, he's not asking what it does. Read the question, he's asking why almost all amps have the bass boost set to 45hz. And to answer you OP, I have no idea, azagoth is probably onto something there lol

LOL, the bigger amp would require a bigger sub on my current working system. I am not using my RF bass knob. I was looking at the specs on an NS-1 ans saw that it even had a bass knob @ 45hz and starting wondering why 45hz was the magic number for all the amp manufacturers.

My bad once again and I I meant to say 40 to 45 is the center of what usually lower bass frequencies run through
