bass knob + gain ?

[spike_e 10+ year member]

i have to be careful with my gain because of voltage drop. if i run the bass knob will it affect the gain on th amp. what i mean is if i install the knob can it turn the gain above the level that the gain is set on the amp?

The bass knob will only go as high as what you have the bass boost/gain set to. If you have the gain/bass boost set to 60%, you can turn the bass knob all the way up, and it will still only give you up to 60%.

Lemme go and make sure about that also, as I don't want to feel like a clown if I am wrong.

bass knob only controls, not add extra bass

ok good. cause my hu doesnt have a sub out.

Yep, I am correct. Also, as the previous guy mentioned, it only controls, not add more bass.

does the bass knob not work if you have a sub out on your deck? I have the pioneer 7800mt and have lots of control of the sub, but the bass knob does not seem to be working right, like if I turn it all the way down, bass is still on.

The control knob for the amp doesn't "know" that you have a sub output control on the amp. It should work the same regardless of the source of the signal to the amp. Sounds like it might be a bass boost controller instead of a remote gain control in your case. Different amps have different things controlled by the remote.
