[QUOTE="AsphyxiA, post: 2100154, member: 569092"] Hey guys I just bought Alpine Type R 6.5" components and 6x9's for my car. I'm powering them with the Alpine MRP-F450 amp and i'm running the system without a sub. My amp has a "Bass Boost" function on it, and i'm not sure if I should use it. After fiddling around with the amp I have the system sounding very much to my liking. The bass is punchy from my 6.5, but not overwhelming. It's almost too weak for my preference, but it still sounds great. The bass coming from my rear channels is pretty hard to notice. When I turn the bass boost on it seems that the rear channels (my 6x9's) produce pretty much all the bass and its incredibly powerful. I mean, I have to set the bass on my equalizer to -7 and it still has powerful bass. So powerful that i'm worried about damaging my speakers. I know the speakers are good quality, but i've never really owned a system before so i'm not sure what I should expect. I have blown speakers before, but those were stock speakers in a work truck. I'm worried about damaging my speakers, especially since they are new. If you aern't running a sub but want some extra bass, would you turn the bass boost on? And how much can a speaker like the Type R take? I mean, I've got my amp tuned with the gains set fairly low, and the deck is running at 18-22 volume when it maxes out at 35. My speakers require 75W RMS and 55W RMS respectively and my amp pushes out 70x4. Will Bass Boost likely damage my speakers? Should I keep it off? The lows are pretty impressive when its on, which makes me want it that much more, however I don't want to damage my speakesr. Any help or suggestions you can provide would be appreciated, thanks.
