[QUOTE="TaylorFade, post: 7975055, member: 618111"] Very simply put... a bass knob/remote is a gain control. But it's just an attentuator. Meaning that it can't go past where the gain is set at the amp. This is a good thing, but playing with the gain constantly isn't. It can introduce distortion/clipping. And inline RCA is basically a volume knob. It attentuates the input signal/voltage exactly how your HU would do it. It has nothing to do with your gain. The other reason is that when bass knobs go bad, it can jack sh[COLOR=black]i[/COLOR]t up. When an RCA knob goes bad, it's likely to just quit sending signal. And the failure rate on bass knobs and their cords are FAR higher than a PAC. Bottom line is that you can abuse either, but like I always say... gains are a sensitivity setting, not a volume knob. So I don't want to use mine as one. [/QUOTE]
