Ditch the bass knob

Why?

Also, it's hard to understand what you're asking.

If you're going to run 2 amps off 1 power wire (with a distribution block like in the drawing) you need to make sure you're taking into consideration both amps combined draw.

Other than that it seems to be fairly correct (minus the fault in the drawing with the sub Amp running off the speaker amp for RCAs) although you might find you're better off doing 2 separate runs of power wire (I have a very similar setup, running mono off 0 gauge and the 4 chan off 4 gauge)

What amps? What deck? What vehicle?

Ditch the bass know because all it does it boost a specific frequency potentially introducing clipping or distortion.

well on some amps you can adjust the frequency it boost but still it's boosting something which is not needed.

This is assuming it's the factory bass knob and not something like a pac lc-1 which is fine to use.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

nothing wrong with having a bass knob, i usually always ran mine at no boost, but when certain songs come on (older songs in general for example some beastie boys songs) its nice to be able to turn up the bass a bit if its lacking from the recording, yea it adds distortion but dont need to go overboard with it.

The only reason I like my bass nob, is the digital voltage meter that comes on it and having the ability of turning off my sub amp from the driver seat. I know that not all bass knob volt meters are very accurate but I also have one on my dash board and they usually read the same voltage. Kinda like having a backup.
