heres what iv done and what i have....i have a factory ford head unit with a schosche slc-4(havent had problems that i know of in the years iv used it).thats running two set of rca's to the back..i adjusted the volts on the loc to have 2.5 volts(its max was 5+)..

i have a 4 channel amp and 2 mono amps daisy chained off of the 4 channel..the 2 mono amps are rated at 600 rms..so i needed to set gains on them to around 34 volts..

Well, when i turn my volume up and have my multimeter ready the reading is at 45 volts with bass knob up..13 volts when off..and the amp gains are at zero...question is..should i not touch the gains and leave a zero and just use the bass knob to turn it up?..or do i have somthing screwy goin on?

thx 4 any help

AudioControl. That's probably the best you'll do for a clean signal reproduction

Edit: on a budget anyways.

So there knob is most likely a bass boost control then.

Ditch it and get a pac-lc1.

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.

what about the LOC's that have a bass knob..are they worth a crap?..or should i find my original knob and use the amps gain?
