Dragonsyph Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Been looking at all the custom Bass Knobs and i was just wondering if they are even worth it? Ones im looking at right now are the SHCA ones and the 90% dollar one has a Volt meter. Being how the knob and the meter are on different sides these units im guessing are just to be set in your mid console and then be used while in hand?> Cant really mount them. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 They Look fancy and all but not worth the money in my opinion. Pac-lc1 gets the job done and cost $8 on Amazon. Those expensive knobs dont work any different than the lc1 does, they just look fancy. 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.

This is probably a stupid question but does the RCA ends matter? Like the cheap ones vs the pro ones with what they call tiffany rcas. I was just wondering this because i thought it would make sense to get the Tiffany ones since the main RCAs and the amp rcas are all Tiffany. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wont make amy difference that's worth spending the extra $62+ on. Looks is pretty much all you're gaining.

Looks is pretty much all you're gaining. I figured just wanted to make sure. You seem to know alot about this so im gonna throw another question at ya lol. My amp has a Remote Gain Control knob, and i planned on not using it and using an RCA bass knob. To my understanding, the amp one will adjust the amps gain? And the RCA one messes with the preamp voltage? If my statement is correct then i wouldn't wanna use the one that comes with the amp, i would wanna set the gain with a DD1 with the RCA knob to max then use that? Manual says Remote Gain input _ Connects remote gain control to control the bass level. Bit confusing to me. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 If your amp comes with a knob why bother buying another one? my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amp one says its a gain knob so wouldent that adjust the gain? My 18 is rated for 3000 watts but ill have it wired to 2ohm on the amp, amp is rated 5900 watts at 2ohm, so i def need to set the gain to get around 3500 watts from amp. So im hesatant on using a knob that messes with the gain. Thats why i was asking about it, and just thought if i set the gain with and RCA knob to max, then i could just use the RCA knob and never go over the 3500 watts. Or am i wrong? ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Remote gain knobs that come with amps typically use the amp gain setting as the max level and lets you lower it from that point. So your gain knob at max level is equal current gain setting on the amp.

I think i screwed up then lol, i bought a 3 foot and 12 foot RCA to do the knob. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
