Do you use bass boost?

And if so how much do you boost it on your amp?

Does it affect SQ in your opinion?

i do a little, but i dont have a very good amp, when i turn it up high it starts to sound like garbage and drowns out my speakers.

yes I use a few db on the amp ( @45hz and fairly narrow) but have the headunits bass (100hz and broad curve) down quite a bit more but 60hz on the eq bumped up 2db. Now that its set where I like it all I mess with is the sub level control. On rare occasion I'll turn the bass knob up a tick but never up to actually flat (0 db).

Only use it for burps IF it shows a gain.

For music, No. It's the devil, and we all know that the Bass Boost makes the Baby Jesus cry.

dont even hook up the remote speaker blower... the gains you may

"think" you are getting will only result in magic smoke eventually...
