[QUOTE="2010HHRUMADBRUH, post: 8227947, member: 606055"] Aren't nearly all bass boost knobs set at 45hz? The way I see it, they did this for general consumers who don't even know what 30hz is, and because most generic songs are around 45hz anyway. Not to mention, some vehicles simply don't respond well to high frequencies (my vehicle peaks at 41hz, but anything above 38hz seems too high for me personally, and it seems to just rattle everything and make a humming sound, and when I got a new vehicle, it killed 3 subs (all under warranty, luckily) because apparently, it was unloading the sub or something...so for me, 45hz bass boost knob is 100% useless) An adjustable frequency for bass boost would be useful though. 30-45hz maybe? And the reason everyone says bass boost is bad and to never use it, is because it's going to clip the subs unless you know exactly how much headroom you have in a song to boost at that frequency. Example: if you open up audacity and boost 45hz 3, 5 or even 7db, I'm almost certain it's going to clip the signal. And don't most bass boost knobs boost up to +12db? [/QUOTE]
