seems like only 1 sub is hitting.

Excuse my ignorance, but I just want to be sure I'm correct here. When you set your gains on your amp using a dmm, don't you have to turn that subwoofer remote control all the way up so that you will avoid clipping? Considering you adjusted your amp to the good voltage.
Thanks

You shouldn't use a "bass boost" knob because it still induces clipping. If you wish to have the function of the "bass" knob, use a PAC LC-1 because it works as the volume knob on the HU does, but only on that particular channel.

I have mine setup so that I can turn the bass knob all the way down and hear very little bass at high volume. And then turn it up when u want a good kick. I didn't see my amps gains up high while the bass remote is turned all the way down. Imo. The way I have my knob being used is correct. I'm not adding Xtra power to the subs. I'm just turning it up or down depending on 9f I want no bass Slight bass or a lot of bass. If I have my system 80% way up and turn my bass knob 3/4 way I can unplug the connector from the knob that way the amp itself is actually making it louder. But when I do that the bass is even louder. I don't use the knob as a gain booster. Think of it as a volume control for my subs.

It is still distorting. I used to do this, then I switched over to PAC LC-1 and it sounded much better. The LC-1 actually works on the signal inputs which is exactly the same as what the HU volume knob does.

The exception to what I just said is if the knob is an actual remote GAIN knob. Then you would turn it all the way up and adjust gain on the amp accordingly. This way the knob actually controls the amp's gain, not by introducing distortion.

Well it came with the amp. And is stated to he a remote/gain knob. So I believe it's what you just stated? Either way j mag look into that pac.

Same here, my amp came with a dash mount gain remote. So I'll do what you stated above. Thanks to confirm
