[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 6833068, member: 567719"] That's stupid, that's like saying "Hey if I crank the gain it clips and can destroy the speaker that's why the gain sucks". Using bass boost will boost the output, but if you don't adjust the gain as well it will clip. If he would have turned down the gain while he had the boost at max, he would have seen the waveform return to normal. That being said, I still don't advocate using the boost since boosts around a centralized frequency and not all frequencies evenly, it basically distorts what the bass should actually sound like (by making certain frequencies louder than what they should have been).
