bass boost and gain settings

[corteznewbie]

if a amp comes with a bass remote where would a good setting for the gain and bass boost be. not wanting to fight just want opinions. i heard few different stories. right now i have my gain at a 1/4 and my boost bout 1/8 which o my amp is just of the 0db point

I usaully set the bass boost all the way up, and the gain to where the sound great at max volume, so I can turn down the subs from the bass knob in the car. You know some music is recorded different so it's good to have the extra control in the bass.

gain is NOT a volume knob

TURN BASS BOOST DOWN ALL THE WAY

what u do to set gain is turn volume on the deck all the way to the highest point before it clips

and turn the gain on the amp to right before it clips

you must use a O-scope

then why have a bass boost?

DO NOT EVER TURN BASS BOOST UP EVER its a instant clip you will fry your subs

you can set it however it works for you if full gain works because you have low input signal then so be it, and you can use bassboost

bass boost is a cheap way to be louder but all it does is fry your subs, you have to understand how and why signals clip to get it there is a post on why in general audio

i use the bassboost to do 154 bassraces all day

Bassboost doesn't clip as long as you set your gains with the bass boost set to what you want it at..
