Audiocontrol Epicenter

hello all

I was just wanting some more info on this item.

i have been reading all around about this item and in the end to me it just seems like this is just like using bass boost. what makes this different? if its giving you just a higher pre out then dont you have to adjust your gains anyhow? I mean if i pump up the bass on my eq or head unit of course the bass gets louder but then i'm clipping and would have to readjust my gains. how is this any different?

any hands on info would be much appriciated

it adds bass where there once was, or wasnt. it isnt just a simple bass boost.

An Epicenter isn't like a standard bass boost. It looks for harmonics of lower frequencies in the music. When it sees them it will add lower frenquencies back to the music. If you are thinking of buying one get it. I don't think you will be disappointed. I have used one for years. I don't think I would do an install for myself without one.

i was thinking of buying one they seem so cheap and if the results are so great it may be worth it. plus they seem to have a good resale value. i see that many have sold here used for mroe then i see them new on ebay. so if i dont like it i guess i could just resell it
