[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 2918452, member: 566521"] Like I said earlier. Speaking of Hifonics amps here. Hifonics amps are known to be over-rated. Meaning that the BXi-1206D, which is supposed to put out 1200w, is really only good for maybe 1000w. If you try to get output voltage that corresponds to the full 1200w, you will most likely produce clipping (You are attempitng to get 1200w out of what is essentially a 1000w amp). If you set the gains to the correct levels with boost down, and then crank it, there is a good chance you will induce clipping. Now if you set the gains after you set the bass boost to desired levels, and you're not clipping, there shouldn;t be a problem. However, you must set them up correctly to safely use bass boost. The only use I've ever had for bass control knobs is turning the subs off in the cities before I park so I don't get jacked, and when driving by cops so I don't get ticketed. [/QUOTE]
