skittlesRgood Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 i have 2 saz-1500's. im wondering if the remote is actualy a "gain" knob that turns up your gains untill you hit the point where the gain is set on the amp. or is it a bass boost knob?

skittlesRgood Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) thats what i thought. but then why is it that with my remote 1/4 the way up, the "volume" changes as i move the gains on the amp even though its past 1/4. shouldn't the "gain knob" be cutting the setting to 1/4?

thehoe92 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 don't use it! tests have been done and you get less output when it is plugged in. on the 3000d you get about 500-700 watts less Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decaf Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 its best to be thought of as a turn down knob.... set the knob at the highest you will ever turn it then adjust ur amps gain theoretically when u turn the knob to the highest point u set it at you should reach the amps gain setting why do you use the volume knob instead of the bass knob?
