[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8525311, member: 650438"] bass boost = death of sub. Dont ever touch that again on the head unit NOR the amp. only thing that should be used is the gain level and your head unit volume level and your head unit's subwoofer level. Dont even touch any EQ bands related to bass on your head unit's EQ options. Reason why is you introduce a lot of distortion which heats up the sub and basically kills the sub. You are forcing it to have a different type of bass frequency with bass boost rather than just amplifying the natural bass signal of the song with the gain/head unit volume/sub level. This easily clips the signal. [/QUOTE]
