so why is remote bass bad

the reason why you probably shouldent use it , is because you said your turned it up and it was way louder, which means you were probably clipping your subs...

if you correctly set your gains + bass boost with an o-scope and no clipped signal then your fine,

but the general rule is bass boost = bad, because alot of clipping you cant hear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i have a stratus sedan and a 750.1 too... the rear view rattles with just my fronts... with a sub it is just reidiculous. It is a hard vehicle to get loud though, compared to my hatch. Nice setup.

if i unplug my bass knob from my fosgate amp, i hardly get any output from it.. soon as i plug it in, it makes a huge difference

Actually, most remote bass knobs simply atenuate the gain input sensitivity. At the knobs full tilt position, you are merely running your amplifier at your actual gain setting. Anything less on the bass knob is like turning your gain down from its currently adjusted position. In other words, your assumption of how most bass knobs work, and that they can push an amp into clipping, is incorrect. The bass knob will only allow your amp to clip if your gains are set to allow it.
The engineers that added/designed remote bass knobs weren't complete idiots.

This is what i did becuase at first (im a dumbass i know) i turned all my settings up.. i put my crossover on the lowest frequency (like 50hz) then i turned my gain all the way up, my bass boost all the way up on the amp.. then i turned my remote bass up all the way and then i turned my head unit up (bass was set at +0 and subwoofer control was all the way on the headunit..

I turned it to as loud as i like it and popped my trunk.. my sub was distorting like crazy and popping so i quickly turned it down..

to properly set it..

I turned all my settings down on my amp (including remote bass boost for right then)

i turned my head unit up 3/4 of the way. I also put the subwoofer control up all the way and left the bass on +0

then i turned my remote bass up all the way.. then i went to my amp and turned my amp settings up as much as i could before it started popping and distorting..

so then i had all my settings on my head unit and amp set to the loudest id ever play it (without distorting or popping)

then what i have done now is ive just turned my remote bass down until its comfortable becuase i dont really like driving long distances with a constant headache and the sensation of something squeezing my head together...

but know that its all set if i ever do want to listen to it with extreme bass i just turn my remote bass up

Thats really a beautiful selection of music you've chosen to share.

Would have liked to see the sub a bit more.

excatly why?

because im sure he already has the gain cranked to get it louder, all the bass boost is doing is clipping it even more i bet

wrong answer.

the bass knob on the amp shouldnt be used

i want to know why

 

[Apocalypse boy 10+ year member]

he's using the bass knob, not bass boost

well on my sundown the remote adjuster is for the gains, and it sure can drive it into clipping as it just replaces the gain at the amp to the gain at the remote source... turn it up 100% and pop goes your woofer
