Remote?

Do they make remote bass controls for any amp? I mean im in a truck and can take a screw driver and just bend down and lower it if i have to...but ive almost taken out a few mail boxes trying to lower my bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Not all amps.

What amp do you have? Seems like you have serious issues if you cant control your volume knob without endangering innocent mailboxes.

I have a Poweracoustic 1000DB i mean its not like im going of the road but not staying in a straight line...cause some songs i like sound like shit with heavy bass if they dont make a remote for it i was just going to put a switch on the remote wire to just completetly turn off the subs

What kind of headunit do you have? Are there sub controls on the headunit? BTW look around they have universal bass controlers, they connect to your rca's.

Any inline preamp volume control can be used as a sub level control.

David Navone sells a good one on his website, the N-22V, 3rd from last product on the page:

Then there's the one djman has pointed out in his sig;

Great thing about these is that they are simply volume controls, and not bass boost controllers like some amplifiers have. So there's no risk of damaging your equipment with clipping.

You can get the switch at Radio Shack.

All you need is a SPST (single pole, single throw) 12V DC switch:
