[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2696209, member: 555320"] And with 12db of boost, that means you are asking the amplifier to increase it's power output by 16x at 25hz. Since that's very likely not possible, there is a very high probability you are clipping the heck out of your amp. That bass boost knob isn't free power. IF you are going to use actual bass boost, set it prior to setting your gain. And if you are doing the DMM method of gain setting, use the bass boosts center frequency as your test tone when setting the gain. [/QUOTE]
