Jhunt94 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 I see people on Youtube using bass knobs all the time, but some people have told me that it's alright to use them and some people have told me that you might end up messing up the amp or subwoofer. Is it alright to use one? and if so is there a proper way to set up the amplifier if you decide to use one? 2007 Ford F-150 Reg. Cab.

jarrius Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 I will be honest I use my bass knob that came with my Rockford amp. I have not had the chance to test it to see if it adds distortion yet but I use it....

ChevyBoy95 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Here is why you are getting mixed reviews.... Some amplifiers come with a GAIN knob, some with a BASS knob. The terminology is interchangeable but these amps with true bass knobs only effect bass boost which is a big no no and generally will throw your amp into clipping. An amp with a GAIN knob actually allows the manipulation of the gain on the amplifier which is ok, you set the amplifier to its max usable unclipped gain, and the knobs max will match that. Pac LC-1 are just WAY easier since all you do is wire them inline with the RCA's and you can completely cut RCA voltage or maximize it without affecting the amplifier itself.

So I would be better off doing that than buying the one for my T1500? 2007 Ford F-150 Reg. Cab.
