But yes, generally speaking bass boost is evil, because most people dont understand how/when/why to use it properly.Some old headunits use to have a loudness function whose bass boost decreased as the volume was increased. These were actually fairly safe bass boost functions to use because they (again) diminished as the volume was turned higher. The only bad thing with those were they offered overly exaggerated bass at low volume, but less bass presence at higher volumes in comparison to the mids and highs. IOW, inconsistent relative freq response based on the volume knob. Not at all what someone looking for 'accuracy' should consider. But its okay for a ground pounder (although I still wouldnt use it personally).</blockquote>
