Bass Knob Question HIfonics BRZ1700.1D

[Sgt. Spuds 10+ year member]

I have dug around the internet and looked for an answer to this, and have found somewhere in the neighborhood of a million different theorys.

I have my BRZ 1700's gain set properly, and its running my 2 sundowns. I would like to be able to lower the volume of the subs without having to go through my headunit, when I switch from Rap to country, or classic rock. I had heard that the bass remote on the BRZ's is actually a gain control, and the MAX on the bass knob will match the gain setting on the amp, and the MIN on the bass knob will turn the gain down to 0, not allowing you to move your gain past your amps setting for gain.

Is this correct?

Or does it actually control bass boost which I DO NOT want.

The bass knob says boost on it, but the owner manual says that the knob controls level, not boost ( still do not trust that thats not a misprint.

Grr, thanks for the response! I posted this question on 3 different boards and have gotten both answers lol, some say its bass boost, some say gain... How can I actually test it? I dont think its bass boost, because I have that turned to 0 on the amp, and my subs still bang. When I turn the bass knob to 0 they are almost silent. If the knob was bass boost then wouldnt they behave the same way asadjusting bass boost through the amp?

I have tje same amp and have no issue wiyh the knob, I adjusted the gail with the knob like how much bass I want when turned all the way up or half, pac lc1 only limits the signal going to the amp.
