[QUOTE="mikeyboc, post: 1870998, member: 563895"] Even thought your amp is rated at 350 rms, it is not putting that out on a daily/constant basis. If you have to turn your bass boost up to get the sub moving, my recomendation would be to look into a more powerfull amp. If your sub is rated at 350 RMS, maybe look for something a little above that and set your gains properly according to the gain setting tutorial. I will hit a little harder and sound much cleaner in most cases. To the OP: most amps have the bass boost control for your typical in-experienced kid/person that goes into CC or BB and wants his "shit to pound" without putting out alot of $$$. So they put a bass boost knob to increase output at certain frequencies and the end result is "man, I just bought this from CC and hits harder than anything else!" and damaged equipment in the long term.
