Howsit Guys

Question related to Bassboost on my amplifer... I currently have 2 lanzar 6000D amplifiers strapped..... Ive read on many websites that one should not open the bassboost etc as this could cause distortion/clipping and burn woofers etc...

the thing is - if i dont open that and just open the LEVEL as most people recommend.. i find the sound system to be playable but it doesnt pack that extra KICK that i want....

Steve what are your recommendations? has anyone else experienced this? what are your takes on Bass Boost?

Thanks guys :)

Also Ive read before that the LEVEL is to match the RCA signals going into the amplifier... and the BASS BOOST was the GAIN of the amp...so now im confused :S

Level is gain, gain is level. Bass boost boosts the output of a specific frequency or small bandwidth (typically around 40hz) which would be ok if it was a clean output. You can try it and test it to see if it is clean. Use an oscilloscope or DD-1 and test tones from 35hz to 50hz, ensure output is clean to start, and then slowly turn up the boost until it starts to distort or clip the signal. I don't know anything about those amps so I won't judge on them, but your lack of output could just be from enclosure build/tuning errors. What subs are you running and what are the enclosure specs?

im using 8 15s lanzar optidrives 1532s on 2 6000d lanzar amplifiers.

enclosure details are 820 x 820 x 250 by 2 boxes - V design

Sealed enclosures due to space restrictions :)

Is that in centimeters? And that's two sealed enclosures with those dimensions? What is your electrical like to power the amplifiers? They're supposed to put out 6000W @ 1ohm correct? So that's 12000 watts (in a perfect world) you're supposed to have pushing eight 15" woofers. Even in a sealed enclosure that should have a good "kick" as you say you're lacking
