RooTxBeeR Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Bass Boost and Gain are 2 complete different things. You should have a dial for both, not one doing both. If it is labeled gain, than that is the gain, and not a bass boost.

frogcase2002 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I would leave the bass boost aloneok so, turn the Bass Boost gain to "0" on the amp and not use the bass boost knob.. is this what you meant? Yes. Im saying dont use the bass boost at all Clarion cz702 Ssa evil mids and tweeters ppi 900.4 2 zcon 18s Taramps 10k 3 big dekas 1 xs 3 runs of 4/0 and big 3 300+ amp ohio generator 155.7 on dash at 36 (peak) 152 at 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Im saying dont use the bass boost at all Never use bass boost. And if you ever have an amp that comes with a knob, only use it if it is a variable gain adjustment, not a variable bass boost adjustment. And when you go to set the amp, make sure that knob is is set to max. So that way when you have it turn to max it is distortion free. If you set it in the middle, any time you go over halfway you more than likely will have some sort of distortion or clipping.

fracl Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 pretty sure crescendos knobs are gain knobs not bass boost. It says "Remote Bass Control: so I don't know?! I just read on another site that some guy called them, and was told that " if you set the bass boost to zero on the amp, it will THEN act as a remote gain knob."

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Crescendo, and was told it is a Bass Boost. and not to use it when setting it up with the DD-1, he told me to get an LC1 Remote Amplifier Level Controller instead. The Feature I mentioned Above only work on the Bass Clef series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
