ayc4890 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 So there's this option called bass boost on Kenwood head units, and I was just wondering what it does, besides giving more bass. There are 2 settings to it, "Bass Boost 1" and "Bass Boost 2". Would this clip my amp/subs if I have it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain0389 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 What kind setup are you running? Referring to amp and subs.

Sammitch0 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Bass Boost or Sound Enhancer (on my pioneer) adds dB level boost to the frequency, I would suggest against using it, most likely will produce clipping.

tonedeaf Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Bass boost normally causes clipping or distortion. I would not suggest it. Just set your bass to what is comfortable and control the subs with a bass knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) keep it off. if you need bassboost to be loud, you dont have enough power. Edited January 8, 2011 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayc4890 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 @Captain0389 - I have a Kenwood headunit, running a Hifonics BXI1610D, with 2 12" Alpine Type R's. @Sammitch0, @tonedeaf, @kranny - Why is there an option for bass boost if it produces clipping?

Ussually for people with normal setups, as in no amp or subs...just to add a little bass in their mids...but even then it ussually clips.
