Splitting Remote Bass Boost

[qtipextra 5,000+ posts]

Say I have 2 of the HiFonics bx1000d amps, with a remote bass boost knob. It uses a phone line to hook it up. If I got a splitter jack, and run two phone cords paralell with one another, would the remote bass then adjust both?

yes, but why?

I wouldn't do that. Depending on how the boost circuit is designed you could hurt something in the amps.

Phone splitters are just in parallel, it isnt any different than RCA splitters. But heck, I wouldn't even use a bass boost... unless you don't like your subs?

I think the remote bass controls on Hifonics amps are remote gain... In the manual for my Kicker KX, I think it says to use a phone splitter to run one remote to seperate amps, I would think the Hifonics would be the same...

I need my remote gain control, without it I would just have completely overpowering bass all the time... Sometimes I like my bass like that, but I usually have it set to blend with the music... on my Kicker, when I have the remote all the way up, the gain is set correctly to where my amps control is set, and turning your gain down will never hurt your subs...

Meh, that's what a sub output on the deck is for. Does your Nak have one?

Nope... Plus turning a knob is way faster and more convenient than adjusting a HU...

depends.. my alpine is easy, press the volume knob in, and go nuts.

but then do you have to push it 6 more times to get back to the volume control... I'm constantly tweaking my volume and bass levels, if I had to go through everything every time it would piss me off soooo much... plus I always go past what I'm looking for...

It reverts back after 5 second or something like that. Otherwise it is 3 pressed to get back to the regular display, the bass & treble are on a different button, and that is only a two button press menu to get through.

lol, but anyways....
