[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8588115, member: 562180"] Always leave the bass boost off. Reason being is because it will cause clipping/distortion. Using bass boost (think of it as bass frequency specific equalization at the amplifier) or excessive EQ or tone control at the head unit will cause your amp's output to clip earlier on the volume dial than it typically would when used normally...this is assuming your gain settings are properly set and your amp isn't putting out full power long before your head unit's volume control is maxed out. Found a very imformative video for setting gain on your amp(s).... [MEDIA=youtube]bRzn1KCX2sQ[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
