Tuxer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yes, you'll want to tune with the knob all the way up. If you tune with remote gain at half, then turn it to full, you'll clip. As a few have said, Prime series comes with a "Remote Punch Level Control" (gain), Punch and Power series has a "Remote Punch EQ" (boost). Prime Manual: Operation: 4. When connected, the “Level Control” is linked and allows you to remotely control the output level of the amplifier from the dash or center console. Punch Manual: Operation 4. Variable bass boost centered at 45Hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj11 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 don't take what i Said the wrong way. kids that buy a "1000w" boss amp use bass boost because the amp isn't loud. so they try and make it loud by maxing the boost. if you have a remote bass (volume control knob) that's completely different. my ct amps have a bass knob. but it controls the volume of the bass not bass boost like so.many others. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just call RF and ask them what the knob on the prime amps do. if its a gain control then set the gain with the dd-1 turn up remote knob until you clip and mark that spot. Then you have it marked at clipping so you know not to push it that far. if its a bass boost turn it all the way up. Set the gain with the dd-1 and if the gain is all the way down but your still clipping turn the bass boost down until you don't clip. Mark it and be done. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

SQL50 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have a R500X1D which came with the same bass knob that the R1200-1D comes with. This bass knob isn't a bass boost, it is a gain control. Yes, the amp has a bass boost on the amp but that isn't linked with the bass knob. When you set your gains with a DD-1 or Oscope, turn your bass knob all the way to the max. That way when you reach clipping and back the gain back down right below clipping, you've set your system limit on the bass knob. We set mine with an oscope just like that, then we inched the bass boost up on the amp until clipping and backed it back down to a clean signal. Btw the bass boost didn't go very far until we reached clipping. That will give you your full potential, signals clean, a everything good to go. Hope this helped.

BoomZoom808 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 My PEQ is actually a remote gain knob on my P1000X1D I think they changed it on the new models. The manual that came with my amp is wrong. The one on Rockford's website states it correctly. The built in one is a bass boost. The manual that came with it also states the subsonic @ 25hz where their website states @ 20hz which I think is more accurate. 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
