[QUOTE="req, post: 743934, member: 555713"] loud is the exact same thing as that switch 0- +3 +6 @ frequency (~45hz usually) all loud does is boost that frequency (ex. 45hz) and those around that a certain amount of decibles. say your system was playing 100db at 20 volume... if you put that switch on +3, 45hz would be 103db, and the frequencies around 45 would 'roll off' back down to 100db at the 'slope' or 'octave' (just how fast the roll off is - picture a hill, 103db is the top, 100db is the bottom - and depending on the slope of the hill, depends on how much land is above 100db so to speak.) thats what 'bass boost' is. any frequency blow 80hz or so that is set to be louder than the rest of the system at any given volume. equalizers are made to get RID of that. bassically - its a tiny 1-band eq that only boosts 45hz (for example) leave it at 0, set your gains correctly, and bump responsably. or eaither get a better box to put it all in - or buy new equipment.
