[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1970364, member: 555320"] No, that's technically a level adjustment for the subwoofer output on the headunit. A bass boost knob increases the level of the signal the most at a single frequency, a level controller such as on his headunit adjusts all frequencies evenly. They are different things, Noobx. As long as he set his gain properly on his amp (i.e. with the level all the way up), then he's free to use it as he wishes without any ill effects (assuming he doesn't turn the volume up to a level that causes the preamp output to clip, not personally sure at what point that occurs on those decks as I've not tested it). Anyways...you guys can piss and moan about who's right and who's wrong. But the fact of the matter is that if he's happier with the new assembly, then that's all that matters. You can all argue till you're blue in the face....but if he's happier, then he's happier. [/QUOTE]
