[QUOTE="headless, post: 1841333, member: 566363"] Actually, it does add bass even if there was none there. That's the point of the epicenter. You can make ANYTHING quad out. You pass it a full range signal, and it takes the midrange and extrapolates bass from that full range signal...adds it into the signal and spits it out the other side. I've got one that i pulled out of my car because it just doesn't fit in with my current setup (not looking for excessively loud) but it was impressive to hear in action...i had it on a punch CVR 10 in a custom ported box...2 of those 10's on the epicenter rattled shit off of windowsills in my house when tested. You set the frequency to center the 'bass restoration' and the width of the 'restored frequencys' on the device itself (wide and sweep...the curve looks kinda like a PEQ curve..it restores around that point but effects fringe frequencies too) then you have a nob up front that controls how much the epicenter adds into that area. You can set it ultra low with a small width and it'll just inject viciously low POUNDING *** bass into any song you want. It's ****ing hysterical to hear some 60's music with bass that makes your head hurt. In any case, turning the nob up very much will generally result in horrific distortion :-P it's a toy imo, not practical for keeping any kind of sq unless finely tuned and used very sparingly [/QUOTE]
