Sorry, I dont have the Bass knob, and they want $20 for a new one. The amp is a Sound strom lab Steath 3500 watt amp, and with out the bass knob it is like it is stuck at a low output. the knob is just a swicth that controls the leval of power the amp puts out. so if I connect the right wires it will be all the way up instead of all the way down...

Has anybody had to do this before?????????/

I've never heard of that before. All the amps I've owned, No bass knob = normal output power. To my knowledge the bass knob doesn't turn anything up, it only turns the output down and without it, the amp just defaults to up.

Most bass knobs turn the bass down, this one turns it up. I used to have it but I sold the car with it in it. and now my amp is stuck putting out only a few hundrend Watts

Set your gain properly and you won't have to worry about bass knobs. You'll get cleaner sound and it's safer for your equipment.
