[QUOTE="los33, post: 8328891, member: 660834"] The sub level which you are currently speaking of is not a bass boost. On most headunits if not all that include this, have this feature so you can get the full pre-volts out of your rca connection. If you put it at the lowest setting possible and play your headunit at 95% volume and monitor your rca with a dmm you will see you get close to no voltage which could be .2-.5 voltage depending on the max voltage your pre outs are. If you have a very weak amp then its best to keep it at max, if not set it so you get max watts rms without clipping with the amp near full gain then reset the amp gain back to minimum and set the gain on amp for the subs near no clip range.
