[QUOTE="creyc, post: 2433974, member: 570559"] It will only damage the sub if it drives it into clipping. +18dB is a big boost, it seems you'd be better off turning the bass boost off and increasing the gains which, by the sound of it, have a lot more room to be turned up. The only thing i can think of is that your sub is playing a lot higher frequencies than most subs, and as such you have to keep the gains down because it would clip otherwise. In that case maybe bass boost is what you need to get the subsonic frequencies to the sub until you get a separate amp for the sub. [/QUOTE]
